Don’t be dismayed, shops are open during the week too and many have online stores for shopping convenience!  Enjoy finding something for everyone on your list this year. Experience a hearty dose of holiday cheer and feel the warmth of the season, as you venture through the Seagrove community.  Free and open to the public!
All of the Holiday Open House events take place at the individual studios. Â Come buy local, handmade works by our talented potters of the Seagrove Area!
