NC - Randolph County Pottery aka Seagrove Pottery
The above photo is Jeff Brown Pottery in the Randolph County community of Whynot, just east of Seagrove. Central North Carolina has lots of potters. Most are in Randolph, Moore, and Montgomery counties, but they extend to Chatham and Lee counties, also.
The most famous pottery center is the town of Seagrove, which is south of Asheboro. The clay is ideal. Pottery comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes with many glazes and colors.
I saw an article last week in the newspaper about a survey performed by the Randolph County Tourist Board. It showed that a large number of people drive from New York to buy pottery. I would have thought the number one draw in Randolph County for people from New York was the NC Zoo.
