Lucky Lidded Jars & Vivacious Vases!

Our spring 2026 fundraiser is a "You Can't Lose" Drawing made up of three categories - Mugs, Lidded Jars, and Vases!

Mug Madness was a great success - thank you to everyone who entered! Now it's time for round 2!

6 Lucky Lidded Jars and 3 Vivacious Vases have each been donated by a different potter. Only 6 Lidded Jar tickets ($125 each) and 3 Vase tickets ($250 each) will be sold so if you buy a ticket - you literally cannot lose!

Entrants that purchase a lucky lidded jar ticket will be entered to win one of six lovely lidded jars and entrants that purchase a vivacious vase ticket will be entered to win one of three charming vases.

All wares in the drawing were crafted by talented North Carolina potters & all proceeds will go towards the NC Pottery Center.
