Summers in Seagrove-Stepping into the Craft

Arts and Entertainment

July 17, 2023

From: Seagrove Pottery

Stepping into the Craft - Summers in Seagrove!

The variety of creation is one of the great strengths of Seagrove. We start with variations of the same material: clay. But the wide variety of outcomes is incredible!
Come meet the makers, the potters, the sculpters, the artists, the visionaries.

Take a trip through our lovely country side and explore the area that is home
to some of North Carolina’s greatest potters. Stop by the studios and see the behind the scenes workings of what it takes to create such unique ceramic works of art.

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