NC Pottery Center
in Seagrove, NC, Features Young Generation of Potters
The North Carolina Pottery
Center (NCPC) in Seagrove, NC, will present the exhibit, New
Generation of Seagrove Potters, featuring works by fifteen
Seagrove area potters all under age 40, from Feb. 12 - Apr. 10,
2010.
The Seagrove area has a long and rich history of pottery and this
exhibit highlights the younger potters who have made a career
working in clay. The participating potters are as follows: Blaine
Avery, Chad Brown, Jeff Dean, Samantha Henneke, Daniel Johnston,
Crystal King, Matthew Luck, Stephanie Martin, Eck McCanless, Will
McCanless, Tommy Nichols, Travis Owens, Hitomi Shibata, Takuro
Shibata, and Jared Zehmer.
The generous support of The Randolph Arts Guild, Ann and Monty
Busick, and Seagrove Creations helped to make this exhibit possible.
The NCPC will host a Demonstration Day on Mar. 20, 2010, from 10am-3pm. Plan to visit the NCPC to see featured potters, Samantha Henneke, Crystal King, Travis Owens, Tommy Nichols, and Chad Brown demonstrating at the wheel in NCPC's education building.
Exhibits at the NCPC change quarterly and follow their mission: promoting public awareness and appreciation of the history, heritage, and ongoing tradition of pottery making in North Carolina. The Annual Fund raising Auction and exhibit is in April followed by a Buncombe County Pottery exhibit, which explores the history and ongoing pottery making of that county.
