The Sanford Pottery Festival in North Carolina first started in 2002 and has had great success year after year ever since. Set in a historic town that has a natural tradition of pottery, the festival organisers work hard to bring you an unrivalled range of pottery from local professionals and amateurs. There are plenty of stalls, demonstrations and of course the beauty of Sanford town and the local community to keep you occupied for when you are not at the Sanford Pottery Festival itself.
Plus points
- Each year, the Sanford Pottery Festival donates a sum of money ($125,000 to date) to support visual arts in the local schools, so you can be safe in the knowledge that your money is going to a good cause.
- Furthermore, for an extra $5, adults can participate in the local wine tasting!
