A lot of work goes into making pottery and sculptures. If you’re like me and don’t have the time to learn the tricks of the trade, you might rather just gaze upon works by professional potters who have gotten their hands dirty. Luckily, the 5th Annual Potters Market Invitational, which takes place on Sat., Sept. 12 at the Mint Museum of Art gives folks the opportunity to view or purchase a hoard of skillful handmade pottery and sculptures by potters across North Carolina. Proceeds from the event help support the Mint Museum’s decorative arts collection. Tickets are $5-$10; free for children 4 years old and under. Event is from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Mint Museum of Art is located at 2730 Randolph Road. For more information, call 704-337-2000.
