Sourwood Pottery Market at BMCA

Description

Step into the shaded courtyard at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts for the annual Sourwood Pottery Market! Held alongside the popular Sourwood Festival, this open-air market highlights the incredible talent of BMCA’s own clay students and instructors. Visitors can browse a diverse collection of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted ceramics—from cozy morning coffee mugs, bowls, and vases to unique garden planters and decorative art. Whether you are looking for a special addition to your home or shopping early for thoughtful, budget-friendly gifts, every piece in the market is made locally right here in the Swannanoa Valley. Plus, every purchase directly supports the artists and helps fund essential equipment and supplies for BMCA's community clay studio. Stop by, meet the makers, and take home an authentic piece of Black Mountain craft!
