Abstract:

Melvin recalls her visits with Jacques and Juliana Busbee of Moore County, who made pottery in their home in Jugtown. She began visiting the Busbee's pottery operation as a college student during the 1930s. Details such as the Busbee's cabin interior, personalities, pottery produced, and business operations are described. While the Busbees are no longer living, Jugtown pottery is still being crafted by workers such as Ben Owens, who was taught the pottery craft by the Busbees.
