Hamilton Williams Gallery features a range of collections by Hamilton in addition to artwork from local artists from the Appalachian region and beyond. We hope you will peruse our gallery to find a one-of-a-kind piece of art or stop by the pottery studio where you can watch as Hamilton brings his creative visions to life.

History

Established in 2013.

After working in a private studio in Valdese, NC for 15 years, local potter, Hamilton Williams moved his studio production into downtown Morganton, NC to take part in the burgeoning arts community that the city offers. The building that Hamilton's studio now resides in offered additional square footage for retail so the new Hamilton Williams Gallery was born.

Meet the Business Owner: Hamilton W.

Hamilton Williams has been a professional potter since 1994 when he left the University of NC Greensboro with a BFA in Design and a desire to create. He began Hamilton Williams ClayWorks that same year and began pottery production in Hickory, NC. A few years later, Hamilton moved the production west to the town of Valdese, NC where he developed his now famous pottery designs and glazes. Hamilton joined the prestigious Southern Highland Craft Guild in 2004 and began teaching at Western Piedmont Community College in 2003. During his WPCC years, Hamilton's educational focus was on teaching glaze chemistry, kiln building, production pottery, and craft marketing. Hamilton's work has traveled widely and can be found in homes and businesses world wide.

We got a gift for one of our neighbors and I am so excited to give it to her. It's a charcuterie board that is wood and has been Fractal Lightenburg, it's beautiful and you can feel the energy from the artist through it. And we also purchased two canvases for our daughters, Catherine painted. They are beautiful and we are so thrilled to have these pieces of Catherine's person our home. Thank you Catherine for sharing your gift with the world. While we were there she was working on some stain glass pieces that were the perfect gift as well. This little charming shop is a gem. Definitely stop in, have a chat with Catherine and take a piece of something special home with you.

It was almost like going in a museum of local art. I had a chance to spend some time talking to the owner while there and it was inspired by her late sister who was a gifted artist. She had one piece of art left from her sister on display in the store. The owner is a former occupational therapist who decided to commit to pursuing a dream that will include art lessons and the art of cooking later this year. Less than a year old, this is a gem of a local owned business you must stop in and see if in town.

I have two beautiful parrot prints that were matted and framed at Blue Ridge Framed Art in…read moreMorganton, NC. The print on one of them came loose/unglued from the matting and has slipped down from its centered place. Now, I have to have the backing taken off and have it re-centered.....very much a pain in the neck as well as the wallet. My opinion is that if you are in the framing business, you should do the job so that it will last. These prints are on the wall and never disturbed. There is just no good excuse for why this happened, other than poor job done. Sorry Blue Ridge.
