The 8th Western North Carolina Pottery Festival is set for Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012, in scenic Dillsboro, NC.

This juried event showcases more than 40 master potters demonstrating a variety of techniques. Come see why it's become one of the top arts events in the mountains, attended annually by a few thousand aficionados of pottery.

Hours are 10 am to 4 pm, rain or shine. Admission is $3 per person and includes a ticket for a day-long raffle. Kids under 12 admitted free!

The fun actually begins a day earlier with the WNC Clay Olympics and the lighting of a wood-fired kiln. The kiln is opened Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
