About Me

Vicki Gill, potter
I touched clay and it was like coming home. Not to say it was easy or without challenges. It just "felt right". I started making pots around 1995 and selling my work in 1997. I like making functional work that folks will use and enjoy. There is a lot of carving and texture that goes into the work and since I have a background in painting and drawing, a lot of use of color and line to decorate the pieces. I'm amazed when looking at historical pottery what has been done and thought of in the past. We think we created abstract ideas and images in the twentieth century, but a 10,000 year old pot proves us very wrong. I love the surprise of this medium.

Studio Hours and classes

Studio and gallery hours are 1:00 to 5:00pm during the week and by appointment on the weekend. Often you will see the lights on and the Open sign at later times, so feel free to stop in if I'm there then.
If you are making a special trip to Gastonia during regular hours, call to make sure I'll be there when you want to come. Since I do everything from making glazes to mailing packages, I sometimes have to leave the studio to handle the gallery errands.

You can reach me at 704-824-9928.
