Who Is Georgia Harris?
Find out about the extraordinary woman who was a trailblazer in preserving the 4000-year-old Catawba clay tradition. Georgia was a NEA awarded artist who elevated Catawba Pottery, but her true passion was teaching other Catawbas how to make high-quality clay pieces.

What is Catawba Pottery?
Catawba pottery has been the life blood of the Catawba Nation for many years, and it helped sustain our tribe during difficult times in our history. The practice dates back at least 4000 years and some historians have placed the practice back as far as 6000 years. It is the most important cultural practice of the Catawba people.
