More About Seagrove:
Seagrove, a small town in central North Carolina, has been a home to potters since the 18th century. They were drawn to the area by two things all potters of that era needed: good clay and an abundant supply of trees for firewood to heat their kilns. These early potters primarily produced redware, an earthenware of soft, porous red clay which turns red, orange, or brown when fired. By the mid 1800s, however, many were also producing salt glazed pottery, using grey clay from creek beds requiring a higher firing temperature and the addition of salt to the kiln near the end of the firing.
