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.

Vases brightly glazed and with intricate cutouts. Funky art that is just plane fun! I was told by other visitors to allow myself time to adjust to all the bright colors- but for me it was to adjust to how much they have packed into the space! There was just so much to see!!! Carol greeted me once I came through the door and her excitement just fed my own excitement! Carol and her husband have been doing pottery for over 31 years and started their business in Florida, only to move to Seagrove and bring their unique art to the pottery community. The two mix their own clay- a secret recipe of their own that fires at a wildly unique temp! Cone 1- if you know- you know. Fascinating conversation! John saved me from having to pick a piece of art to take home by spotting a wall plaque with a kitty- in their signature bright glazes. She is already hanging just inside my front door! Her happy new home. I hope to save up for a larger piece of their art- because I was so impressed by it!!!

The anagama kiln and the new one being built out back are impressive. The studios for processing the local clay, throwing and glazing all had individual spaces in historic buildings. I fist loved the chime bowls hanging out front on the porch, the shelves outside full of the sons work. Inside I was stunned by beautiful artistry. I love trees and that was a continued theme in this shop. The soul bowls were lovely too- a concept beautifully brought to realization by the artist. The behind the scenes tour was just the icing. I bought 2 pieces and struggled immensely trying to choose. One carved tree wall plaque and one woodfired bottle with a tree carved in. Thank you for the meet and greet- and I might snag one of the bowl chimes on my next visit!

Oh well- I shopped her store. This shop is beautiful outside- very welcoming. Inside it is full, make sure you walk around a few times to see everything.

Really excellent pottery. The potter works in the store and helps all her customers.read more

This shop was one of my firsts and one of my favorites! Frank is a stunning artist! The gallery set…read moreup in his home is bright and full of beautiful, intricate designed pottery. 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!

Just wish he weren't so pro-army, I mean, I was glad he was glad to support the troops and wanted to keep thanking the manchild I was with, but still, it was a little weird at the end. I should have bought something, but I was in the mood to get mugs and this was more oh-so-pretty and less oh-so-functional.

My dear friend Kathy said i would like the work and she was right! I love crystalline glazes, textured surfaces & varied surface decorations & I could get all of that here!

The gentleman was very sweet too, he knew i was in town for conference & this was a quick stop & a great find!
