Seagrove is located about 15 or so miles south of Asheboro on US705. If you see
Asheville on your map, follow I-40 east to US220 South to 705 East. It's gonna
take you about 5 hours to get there from Asheville.

Seagrove, NC is located off HWY 220 which runs north to south. It is south
of Asheboro at HWY 705. There are plenty of signs on the highway. NC
supports the art of pottery. YOU WILL LOVE IT ! Go to the pottery museum &
get a map to the 100 potters in the area. Have a great time - I am green ...

I'm from Alabama and recently visited Seagrove, North Carolina, the home =
of numerous potters. I visited the area the day before their annual =
pottery celebration and festival. It was wonderful. The local hardware =
store is a must to visit. I drove on "Potter's Highway" where there is =
a pottery studio at every turn in the bend. The people were friendly, =
the pottery was beautiful and the North Carolina air was fresh and =
clean. It was a delightful day and a good excursion. Dave Gardner at =
Turn and Burn Pottery was exceptionally helpful on raku firings and kiln =
building. =20
Seagrove's history in pottery dates back to the find of the big vein of =
clay in the 1700 or 1800s, not sure which. Generations of potters have =
sprung from those folks. All of them have a ton of history to share =
about the area. =20
I left Seagrove with numerous pots even though I have a pottery studio =
in Alabama, a lot of new ideas and several new friendships. If you ever =
get a chance, head to Seagrove. I'll go again.
