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 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 scat-tered throughout the area, you will find everything from traditional tableware to folk and collectible art pieces and historical reproductions.
