A favorite place to shop for pottery in Black Mountain, NC. On Cherry Street, next to the stairs that go up to a nice pizza place and other shops, this is the one above the fish pond that's mainly a patio outdoors. So it is open odd hours depending upon the weather. But oh, wait till you see the pots! It's worth trying again if you chance to hit a rainy day on your first try.

| Not only a great view of the pottery, but a great place to watch a parade down Cherry Street, or look at the mountains in the distance. |

Since the entire patio shop of Morning Sky Pottery is fenced in, I'm sending this as a submission to
"Friday Fences" meme on another blog HERE...come on over to see what other fences get posted!
what a neat place to shop for gifts!

DeleteLooks like a great place to wander around. Pretty good fence too!

DeleteBlack Mt. has certainly changed in the 70 years since I first sent to Camp Montreat. Your pictures are wonderful, and the pottery gorgeous. I really enjoyed the series.
ReplyDeleteThere are still a couple of summer camps, as well as pottery classes at Montreat during the summer!
DeleteI'm a big fan of handmade pottery. I love the variety of what I see here.
ReplyDeleteThis shop has some great potters...thus great pottery! The inventory is always changing, but the styles of each potter continue.
DeleteI love little towns like this one...would love to visit and browse!
ReplyDeleteCome on down sometime...and let me know when so we can share a cuppa together!
DeleteThat's a really neat place to shop. Love all the pottery. Especially that "face vessel".

DeleteWow! I love the artisan pottery. What a neat place!
ReplyDeleteGood word, artisan. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteWow, I would love to look around that place! Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteAn artisan town just naturally brings joy to ones heart -- there where the free spirit flows. Would love to visit this place but my hopes are getting slim since I moved to Washington state. But I do get to enjoy your posts of the town and folks that live there -- wonderful header. --- barbara
