Earth into Art Pottery Sale is an annual event at The Arts Center of Greenwood in collaboration with the Greenwood Area Studio Potters (GASP) to promote the culture and craft of pottery within the South Carolina Heritage Corridor. It spotlights the evolution of pottery in Greenwood, South Carolina where networking and professional development have expanded educational opportunities and studios locally.
The event will be held on Saturday, May 13 from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm at The Art Center of Greenwood (120 Main Street, Greenwood, SC 29646).
The event will feature a display and sale of pottery created by 20 regional potters, live wheel-throwing demonstrations, open artist studios, and opportunities to “feel” the clay experience. The sale will also feature pottery created by local youth from the STARZ24 Teen Center of the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakelands Region with the support of GASP members and The Art Center of Greenwood. All youth in attendance will have the chance to win a scholarship for one of the summer clay camps hosted by The Arts Center of Greenwood.
