Rob and Beth Mangum, from Mangum Pottery Studio and Gallery seven miles from Asheville, in Weaverville, NC, come from a family of potters. Their creative process is guided by the clay itself, through years of studying the nature of the materials. The Mangums strive to find the union between heritage and contemporary design. They feel very fortunate to live and work in a community with so much awareness and support for the arts. Stroll down Main Street Weaverville and you may wander into this working pottery studio. As you step into the gallery you’ll see displays of pitchers, teapots, and tableware next to hand built vases, ceramic furniture and banjos. Beyond the wares are craftsmen hard at work.
A cool gift shop and pottery operation...my time was spent with the gifts and I was impressed...the pictures were next level framed on glass...from chocolates to towels...Just a well done shop!! I'll return!

I’m the mornings they usually have demonstrations of throwing. Call them to be sure. Nice stuff. Not overly priced.
