In 2007 a group of seven local potters formed Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts, a cooperative gallery featuring all 3-D artisans. The energy and excitement for this new adventure from the members have made the gallery the success it as been for the last 13 years. Today there are 20+ members who participate in our gallery. Each person works one day a week and does other tasks to help the gallery. Your support of handmade at this time helps Galleries like ours to survive this Global Pandemic

During the COVID19 pandemic we are trying to offer new ways for our customers to find us. We are excited to bring handmade items from Wilmington, NC to you!

About Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts
Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts, in the historic Cotton Exchange in downtown Wilmington, is the first gallery in Wilmington dedicated exclusively to local, handmade, one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional art and craft by jury-selected coastal North Carolina artisans. We present decorative and functional works in clay, fiber/textiles, gourds, baskets, jewelry, mixed media, glass and wood in a beautiful setting in this early 20th century historic building.

Handmade objects, whether held, worn, or displayed, enrich our lives by connecting us with our humanity, creativity, and our history. It is evident when you enter Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts that all of the Gallery members are pursuing not only art but their passion.

Our mission:
Provide Wilmington residents and visitors the opportunity to purchase and enjoy high quality, locally-made fine crafts
Showcase the talents of diverse coastal North Carolina artisans
Educate the public about the value, traditions, techniques, and innovations of American-made fine crafts of today
Expand the scope of Wilmington's art gallery experience
