|The Gallery @ Good Dirt is a year-round source for the finest handmade functional pottery and ceramic sculpture. This is the perfect place to find unique gifts for all occasions. The Gallery features the best work by professional potters and allows you to view fine functional pottery in a natural, elegant setting. HOURS: DAILY 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and by appointment. A NOTE FROM OWNER ROB SUTHERLAND: "I'm always glad to tell you how a pot was made and fired, and many of the artists represented in the Gallery have studios or teach classes right here at Good Dirt. How's that for local A customer related to me just this morning that she had visited several ceramics galleries in Asheville, N.C. and concluded that none of it compared in quality or value to our gallery. Just one person's opinion, of course, but it made my day! I've just returned from two weeks visiting potters and basket makers in England and France. I'm looking forward to letting all the inspiration I received take root in my work. I can't wait to incorporate some willow basketry techniques into my pots, to work with more local materials, and to take more chances with the pieces I create. I also hope some of the relationships I've made with potters overseas will eventually lead to some international visiting artist workshops here at the studio. The trip has renewed my wonder at the dedication and passion of craftspeople the world over. My first class at Good Dirt ignited that passion for clay in me. I encourage you to give it a try either as part of an eight week class or through Friday night 'Try Clay'. Who knows where it might lead"
