Charlotte Wooten has produced pottery since 1964. She studied at the Memphis Academy of Art in Memphis, Tennessee and at the Daissai kiln in Machiko Japan under the sponsorship of Shoji Hamada. Seagrove has been a pottery making area since settlers arrived in the clay rich piedmont. Utilitarian wares made in local kilns were a necessity of early American life. The industrial revolution made available vessels and containers of other materials. These eventually replaced the need for pottery. Down through the years pottery didn't completely die out A few craftsmen continued making more decorative and artistic pieces. Three or Four shops remained in business in 1970 when Humble Mill Pottery opened. Now there are a hundred shops in a fifteen mile radius of downtown Seagrove. |
