| The Wildacres pottery shop opened in
1991 and has been a wonderful addition to the facility. Equipment was
purchased with a grant from the Fletcher Foundation and the facility was
designed by Penland area potter Norm Schulman. The facility is primarily
used during the three weeks that the Ringling School of Art and Design
is holding their art programs, but other groups are offering pottery as
part of their program now as well. |

 |
| This season small pottery groups are
attending Wildacres with larger groups and using the facility. The shop
contains fourteen potter's wheels, slab roller, pug mill, extruder,
drying booth, work tables, two gas kilns, and one electric kiln. It is a
great working space for up to 16 people. There are times during the
season that groups do not completely fill the retreat. Small groups of
potters are invited to come use the facility during these times. Guilds,
clubs, schools that teach pottery, or other organizations should contact
Wildacres about use of the shop. |
