Porcelain vases, trays and more- gorgeous crystalline glazes and the piercing lattice designs just added another dimension to these works of art. The price point is also that of an artist- crystalline glazes take a lot of testing and precise firing temps. I am just starting to dabble in glaze making and I have learned more about crystalline glazes over the last year. I bought a small tray as a keepsake and I hope to splurge in the future on a bigger piece! Frank's neighbor pottery shop was one of my other favorites! This is a wonderful stop on the pottery tour!

This was our very first pottery stop in Seagrove and I am so happy our B&B had us start here! I didn't know it until I made it home, but one of the closed shops I tried to go to (some shops were closed when we were visiting because they were working the state fair)- I did buy one of their pieces here on the first day! Calicutt Pottery- I was thrilled to see I snagged a piece of their art. My favorites here were from Seagrove Art Pottery- a husband and wife couple who make fabulous. brightly color, unique pottery! I did make it to their home store too- but I loved the pieces on display in this shop! This should be your first stop in Seagrove- because you will see a variety of local art in one building!

The Saturday that I went, admission was free thanks to a corporate donor-of-the-day, but it would've been well worth the admission fee. I didn't get a map of potters in the region, but might check for that online next time I'm in the area. I'm glad the NC Pottery Center is a resource, definitely worth the stop!

I was greeted by one of the artists and became immersed in a great geology conversation with him! Turns out he mines his own clay! There was a workbench covered with various clays and natural material. Even some pyrite/fools gold. That and animal bones, insect larvae and more. This is a higher end gallery- and after our conversation, I understand why. The shear knowledge of farming your own clay, testing the temperature for firing, shrinkage, vitrification & absorption rate- a rabbit hole I may someday fall into. I loved his passion for the subject. The art throughout the space was also fabulous. The woman artist was concentrating on her work and her sculptures were fantastic! Fascinating stop on the pottery trail through Seagrove.

The colorful fall leaves were a perfect backdrop. I assume they loan and/or sell sculptures, because some of the signs didn't have the corresponding art on the display base.
