Summers in Seagrove - A great place to be!

Driving along the country side to visit some North Carolina’s greatest potters is always an enjoyable get away from the routine of life. Pottery Highway and the surrounding area is 15 miles of beautiful fields and scenic byways that host over 55 of our wonderful pottery shops and studios. Here you can stop by the studios and see the behind the scenes workings of what it takes to create such unique ceramic works of art.

Stepping Into the Craft - Summers in Seagrove

July-August 2023

While Seagrove pottery shops are open throughout the year, many studios will have special events taking place during the months of July and August for Stepping into the Craft – Summers in Seagrove. Visitors can expect anything from kiln openings, demonstrations, hands-on experiences in clay and more. We hope you can plan your visit for a first-hand look at the process of making pottery and discover why Seagrove was voted America’s #1 Town for Craft.

Individual shops plan their own events. Please remember that most shops are typically open, even if they don’t have a special event planned that weekend. You will need to work directly with individual studios for any events that may require reservations (hands-on experiences, etc).

You'll want to take a look at this page for demos, classes and special events during these upcoming two months. Potters will be adding more as we go along, so check back often: Stepping Into the Craft Event Page
