take a quick tour of the museum in old Salem, in Winston-Salem. it is a Moravian
settlement (like the Moravian tile works in PA) they have some nice tiles, press
molded jars, tobacco pipes and the like which they still make. used to dig the
clay out of Peters Creek which is a geographic border of Salem. Also, Ron Probst,
a potter, was building an artists community in an old 3 story furniture store on
liberty street. This was my old home town but it has been a while.

YES - You are in the land of clayart ... UNCG has a nice gallery that often
features clayart ... I like NEW SALEM POTTERY in Randleman (20 min south of
Greensboro) and SEAGROVE (a mecca for potters) is a nice drive south of
Greensboro. You MUST try to go to Seagrove. If you can, pull up the web
site for the pottery museum there in Seagrove & they will lead you to dozens
& dozens of potters. I like LDDK & Benjamin Burns & lots & lots of others
... they change ... Phil Morgan's work is truely special ... gosh ... there
is too much for one day. Enjoy
Have a great visit. I am jealous.

Hey Grace,

I live about 20 minutes from Greensboro in SUmmerfield. You will also be
within 1.5 hours of Seagrove, the pottery capital of the universe. School
will be out by then and I'd be able to get together w/ you if you wanna.
Lemme know.

Hi Grace,
Be sure to travel 50 miles south and visit the Seagrove area. We have
approximately 100 potteries scattered about. Contact the North Carolina
Pottery Center, located in Seagrove, for information. Their web address is:
www.ncpotterycenter.com .

I just was in Greensboro, NC a month ago. I had an excellent time visiting
Seagrove, NC It is about 40 minutes south of Greensboro and it is the mecca
of NC pottery. First stop is a visit to the pottery center- Check out the
local pottery samples then take the map, mark the spots you want to visit and
you are off! I spent a whole day driving the back roads of NC visitng
pottery studio after studio. It was the highlight of our four day trip !!
Any questions, please email. DEbby
