First Friday Art Opening: Woodfire Potters of Georgia

The 567 presents the Woodfire Potters of Georgia, a statewide touring exhibition bringing long-overdue attention to Georgia’s vibrant woodfiring tradition. Work by six different potters from Macon and across the state will be on display.
The artists' practices span folk pottery lineages, Japanese kiln traditions, and contemporary ceramic artistry—united by a shared devotion to the centuries-old craft of woodfiring. The group includes some of the most influential names in Southern pottery, among them legacy potters such as Roger Jamison with more than 30 years of firing experience. Potters often travel great distances and work through the night to participate in firings that range from short, traditional folk sessions to multi-day Anagama and Naborigama firings inspired by the traditional Japanese practices.
Join us First Friday, August 7, 5-8 pm, to see the new exhibit, meet the artists & enjoy light refreshments. The exhibit will be on display August 7-28. Admission is free. Artwork will be available for purchase.
