Pottery has been a tradition in the Seagrove area dating back to Native Americans and later to the first European settlers who moved there. In 2006, around one hundred potters live, work, and sell their creations in the surrounding four-county region. Foster describes a weekend visit there, starting with a stop at the North Carolina Pottery Center, places to eat and stay, and where the potters are.
