American Craft Week
Kick off Fall of 2024 by joining the Seagrove potters in the celebration of American Craft Week. Seagrove, NC was voted America’s #1 Town for Craft Lovers. With 200+ years of pottery tradition, come discover for yourself what makes this a special place to visit. Observe demonstrations of wheel throwing, and visit kiln openings and much more.
The potters are willing to share behind the scenes activities, so you can join in the fun! Located in the central piedmont of North Carolina where more than 100 ceramic artists call this tourist destination home. Experience Seagrove’s pottery tradition on a self-guided tour of over 50 working studios in the Handmade Pottery Capital of the United States.
Visitors can shop galleries from the town’s center, extending to a 20-mile radius along the scenic NC Pottery Highway. Tour individual shops to experience Seagrove’s tradition, meet the potters and discover the limitless talent that thrives within this creative community. Plan to spend the day, we guarantee you’ll want to come back.
