2024: Vessels of Abundance
Only a few more days until we finally debut Vessels of Abundance!
The autumn season is the perfect time to celebrate our beautiful pottery traditions! As the weather gets colder, thoughts turn to soups, teas, and other hearty, warming food & drink. And, without doubt, there is nothing better than a handmade vessel to elevate those nourishing moments.
Our masterful makers draw from the rich pottery heritage of North Carolina, as well as deep wells of inspiration outside our local tradition.
On Wednesday October 30th at 11AM, a gorgeous collection of heirloom pottery will be available for previewing for one hour before telephone sales will begin at 12PM sharp! To make a purchase on opening day, simply give us a call: 828-281-2134 More information about Vessels of Abundance and the participating artists can be found on the show page!
American Folk is also listed on Explore Asheville’s “Love Asheville from Afar” page, where you can find a wealth of local businesses that you can support from wherever you are! Just follow that link and you can shop or donate to over 300 local artists, businesses, and organizations. Western North Carolina needs you!
“Local, independent businesses are the heart of the Asheville area – home to growers who are artists and artists whose work grows. Thought leaders and thought provokers, musicians and storytellers, entrepreneurs and educators, foodies and beer lovers, hippies, healers, adventurers, creators and innovators. We craft and brew and paint and carve, handcrafted by real hands. Now, those hands need a helping hand. And a hug.” – Explore Asheville
Our website is full of wonder from a variety of selectively curated contemporary self-taught artists from Texas all the way to Maine: Painters, Whittlers, Carvers & Potters. If you see something you would like to purchase, come on by or reach us by phone 828-281-2134 or email folkart@amerifolk.com
We are open from 12PM – 4PM, Wednesday-Saturday, and are happy to answer your questions and finalize shipping details, no matter how you prefer to get in touch with us.
American Folk represents nearly 40 makers with one goal in mind: To expose the world to the creative powers and originality of our artists. Their visions bring life, color, joy and complexity to our gallery and to your home. Self-taught art can range from what is referred to as naive all the way to the exquisitely contemporary. We know these folks and only purchase directly from them. Some have garnered world-wide attention, some are exclusive to American Folk, but all have a unique way of expressing their world & their hearts. We are inspired by them every day…and you can be too!
Phone consultation is available regarding individual pieces that you are interested in. We love to talk about the artworks we present in the gallery! We can ship or hold and offer Curbside Pickup if that feels right. Great care is taken in the wrapping & boxing of the artwork to be shipped, giving you confidence that all aspects of your purchase are handled properly.
We offer Custom Picture Framing for any treasured piece that you would like to proudly preserve and display. All framing is performed right here in our workshop.
Gift Certificates are available in any denomination.
