Eck McCanless Pottery
Eck McCanless is a second generation potter and musician/songwriter who hails from Seagrove, North Carolina.
Eck’s focus is on Agateware, which he makes by turning multiple colors of clay on the wheel at the same time to create a spiral. Once the piece is leather hard, he carves it to reveal patterns hiding within the walls of the pot. It’s best to see it in person to fully understand this style. Eck, being a performer at heart, loves to demonstrate for anyone who visits his pottery shop.
*If watching a demo is at the top of your list, please let us know in advance when you plan to visit so we can make sure Eck is available at that time. You can reach us by phone at 336-873-7412 or by email at [email protected].
