Visit the Gallery Tuesday-Saturday 11AM-5PM!
Ben J. North
Pottery fans rejoice! Ben J. North recently came for a visit and brought us a whole new selection of his fabulously off-beat work!
Snakes, skulls, poison jars, devils, and the horrors of tax day all await you on our website. Ben certainly knows how to poke fun at the worries the world can throw at us and make something beautiful out of the chaos.
You’ll find most of our selection of Ben’s pottery on his artist page…but you might want to check out what’s new on our Face Jug Makers page while you’re at it!
And save the date, folks! We’re celebrating the harvest season with an art collection that honors the earth and feeds the soul! Farm to Table debuts on Wednesday September 30th at 11AM! You’ll have a full hour to savor the entire cultivated collection before telephone sales begin at high noon! More details about the show can be found here: Farm to Table
We are open from 11AM – 5PM, Tuesday-Saturday, and are happy to answer your questions and finalize shipping details, no matter how you prefer to get in touch with us.
American Folk represents nearly 40 makers with one goal in mind: To expose the world to the creative powers and originality of our artists. Their visions bring life, color, joy and complexity to our gallery and to your home. Self-taught art can range from what is referred to as naive all the way to the exquisitely contemporary. We know these folks and only purchase directly from them. Some have garnered world-wide attention, some are exclusive to American Folk, but all have a unique way of expressing their world & their hearts. We are inspired by them every day…and you can be too!
Phone consultation is available regarding individual pieces that you are interested in. We love to talk about the artworks we present in the gallery! We can ship or hold and offer Curbside Pickup if that feels right. Great care is taken in the wrapping & boxing of the artwork to be shipped, giving you confidence that all aspects of your purchase are handled properly.
We offer Custom Picture Framing for any treasured piece that you would like to proudly preserve and display. All framing is performed right here in our workshop.
Gift Certificates are available in any denomination.
American Folk is listed on Explore Asheville’s Love Asheville from Afar page, in addition to over 300 other local artists, businesses, and organizations you can help support from wherever you are! Just follow the link and shop or donate today! Western North Carolina needs you!
