Try your hand at the pottery wheel, watch the dramatic raku firing technique, and see professional potters demonstrate the art of wheel throwing, carving techniques and more, during the second annual Stepping Into the Craft: Saturdays in Seagrove.
Known as the Pottery Capital of the U.S., Seagrove is home to more than 100 ceramic artists as well as the North Carolina Pottery Center and its collections, where you can learn about the history and preservation of pottery.
A Seagrove trip offers multiple destinations. While a handful of shops are located downtown, access to other studios requires short country drives.
