Pottery in Seagrove area
Back in the early 70s, my husband and I spent hours prowling through many ramshackle pottery shops -- plus Jugtown -- in the Seagrove area. We know that most of the potters whose work we purchased are gone now. But we also know that there has been an explosion of pottery shops -- many of which produce art pottery. We will be traveling though the area in late April and we will revisit the spots we know -- to see what's there now, but we would like to know if there are any places producing everyday, utilitarian pottery, like the work done by J.B. Cole, A.R. Cole (Sanford) and the Teagues back in the 70s.
Thanks a bunch,
Nancy
p.s. We are still using MOST of the pieces we purchased back then!

Sorry, gracie, I tried to post on the North Carolina board but I guess the south is lumped together.
I mean Seagrove, North Carolina, an area built of so much red clay that potters have been at work as long as there have been folks in the area.
