In
North Carolina and across the nation, Seagrove, NC equals
pottery. People from across the nation and around the
world come to Seagrove to buy various styles of pottery
and muse over the delightful glazes and awesome colors.
In The Potters of Seagrove, renowned potters like Sid
Luck, Ben Owen, Vernon Owens and the King family show
off their wares and relate how they decided to make pottery
their career. In addition, scenes from Sid Luck's annual
birthday celebration and the North Carolina Pottery Festival
give a fun twist to an art that often invites a reverent
silence as pottery and non-pottery fans alike marvel over
intricately designed pieces. The Potters of Seagrove introduce
other modes of pottery as well, such as face jugs, sure
to bring a grin to those who look at them, and pottery
sculpture, figurines made without the use of a wheel.
See what a kiln looks like and see Raku pottery made before
your eyes. In addition, come to the North Carolina Pottery
Center and meet Terry Zug, the expert on the history of
pottery in North Carolina.
Above
all is the emphasis on the tradition of pottery and
how new potters like David and Mary Farrell and some
of Sid Luck's chemistry students become part of the
Seagrove family. For the potters at Seagrove, pottery
is more than simply an art or a job--it's a way of life.
