The North Carolina Potters conference is centered around two-days of demonstrating artists in addition to multiple speakers to instill this year’s theme, which is The Similarities in our Differences. Three demonstrators will work side-by-side, encouraging questions, and conversing with the audience and each other. Interspersed in the program are speakers that will help to inform on contemporary business practices including marketing, advertising, and manufacturing. Every aspect of the 2020 North Carolina Potters Conference is designed to explore our similarities, our differences, and sometimes the similarities in our differences that we share in executing our craft.

Demonstrators: Bede Clarke, Dan Finnegan, Lisa Naples

Speakers: Alex Matisse of East Fork Pottery, Connie Matisse of East Fork Pottery, Ron Philbeck, Thomas Schmidt
