Celebration of Seagrove Potters

The Celebration of Seagrove Potters is a group of diverse clay artists joining forces to showcase the traditional and contemporary pottery of the historic Seagrove community.

The Seagrove Area Potters Association, Inc. is dedicated to promoting and marketing the historical, geographical pottery community that works and resides in a corner of the Randolph, Moore, and Montgomery counties of North Carolina. This small “Seagrove area” of central NC has been home to many potters since the late 1700s. Potters who grew up in NC pottery families, locals inspired by NC pottery traditions who learned their trade at Seagrove area community colleges, and potters from elsewhere attracted by the Seagrove pottery community run the nearly one hundred Seagrove pottery shops. 

The Seagrove Potters can be found in their shops most weekdays, quietly working with clay on their potter’s wheels, in much the same fashion as the first potters attracted to central NC by the abundant local clay. The mission of the Seagrove Area Potters Association is to help you find those hardworking artists, visit their studios and find just the right pottery to grace your home. The organization is led by a board of directors made up of potters and other interested individuals from the community.
