The North Carolina Pottery Center showcases the remarkable history and on-going tradition of pottery making in North Carolina. Located in Seagrove, one of the state's key historical and contemporary pottery producing regions, the Center is your first stop in exploring North Carolina's rich clay heritage. The state's pottery communities range form the mountains to the sea, and it is that wide-ranging diversity of styles, techniques, and history that the Center preserves and protects.
The Center's permanent exhibit of more than eight hundred pieces of pottery, artifacts, and photographs traces North Carolina's pottery history from prehistoric Native Americans to the present. The display interprets the impact of social, technological, and economic change on the state's most unique cultural resource.
Changing exhibitions of historical and contemporary work are also on display. North Carolina Pottery Center Board
Exhibitions are made possible through the generosity of our membership, the Randolph Arts Guild, the North Carolina Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Covington Foundation, the Cooke Foundation, and the Wood Foundation.
