isit Seagrove, the largest community of potters with the longest continual
history of pottery making in the United States. The ceramic history of the area
began with the abundant and diverse natural clay deposits found in the area.
Native Americans were first to discover this resource and used it for both
functional and ceremonial objects.
The first immigrant potters,
mostly English and German,
arrived in the late 18th century
from Pennsylvania and Virginia.
They probably settled first in
the areas closest to the Great
Wagon Road, which ran from
Pennsylvania to Georgia,
later migrating to Seagrove.
The building of the old Plank Road, and later the
emerging railroad system, gave potters access to broad
markets outside of their normal reach and helped to establish Seagrove’s reputation as a pottery
town. In the early 20th century Raleigh couple Jacques and Juliana Busbee, who appreciated the
local craftsmanship, used their marketing skills to promote Seagrove to an even wider market and
collectors began to embrace the craft. By the late
1920s, Seagrove pottery was well-known from the
galleries of New York to the garden shops of Florida.
Throughout the 1950s, potters worked together to promote
the area. The 1960s and 70s were characterized by social
changes across America with the 1976 Bicentennial
Celebration bringing a renewed interest in handcrafts. The
development of ceramic arts programs by nearby community
colleges led to the training of many area residents, and
Seagrove potters continued to train their children or other
interested apprentices in their craft. Studio artists began
to settle in the area bringing visible changes to Seagrove
throughout the remainder of the 20th century.
In 1982, local potters and citizens, recognizing the strength of continuing to preserve the history and
heritage of their craft, began to celebrate annually the weekend before Thanksgiving by organizing the
Seagrove Pottery Festival. This festival weekend
has now grown to include both the Seagrove
Pottery Festival and the Celebration of Seagrove
Potters.
Today Seagrove is known as the handmade pottery
capital of the United States where artisans create
handcrafted pottery inspired by the same traditions
that began here more than 200 years ago. With
nearly 100 shops and galleries scattered throughout
the area, you will find everything from traditional
tableware to folk and collectible art pieces and
historical reproductions.
