East Fork, located in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina, is a beloved local business known for its commitment to creating heirloom quality pottery. Founded in 2010 by Alex Matisse and Conleith Wood, the duo began by making just a few pieces a week in their tiny garage studio. Now, East Fork boasts a thriving workshop where artisans handcraft each piece on the pottery wheel, expertly shaping bowls, mugs, plates, and more. The clay used at East Fork is sourced locally from the Southeastern United States, and each piece is fired in an electric kiln to ensure durability and a consistent finish. The team at East Fork takes pride in their dedication to sustainability, using only energy-efficient kilns and eco-friendly shipping materials. Beyond their exquisite pottery, East Fork offers an inviting atmosphere where customers can connect with the makers, attend workshops, and even participate in the pottery making process. As a shared studio, East Fork also serves as a community hub for artists and art lovers alike, fostering a vibrant and creative environment.
