When I came Callicutt home, I finished my business degree, Pottery 8 put on a suit and tie, and went to work. Ben Owen DirtWorks After six months, I knew I wasn’t a suit Pottery 3 5137 Seagrove Plank Rd, 13 and tie kind of guy! Back then there Asheboro Pottery were trade and technical schools to 2233 S NC 705 Hwy, 336-873-7898 1226 NC Hwy 705, help people choose professions. I was Seagrove Seagrove Mon – Sat 9 am – 5 pm on my way to check out the auto body 336-879-2262 336-873-8979 and gunsmithing programs, and Tue – Sat 10 am – 5 pm Mon – Sat along the way I walked by a pottery (Feb – Dec) 10 am – 5 pm shop. Once I saw what they were Carolina doing, I was immediately hooked Crockery & and knew it was for me. Hatfield I make two main types of BlueStone Pottery 9 pottery: salt glaze and 4 Dover crystalline. Salt glaze is Pottery 14 326 Adams Rd, Pottery made from stoneware, and 2215 Fork Creek Mill Rd, Seagrove 634 NC Hwy 705, crystalline is made from Seagrove 336-879-2426 Seagrove porcelain. The crystalline 336-879-2615 Sun 12 – 5 pm; 336-879-3610 pottery process first began Tue – Fri 10 am – 4 pm; Tue – Fri 1 – 5 pm; around 600 A.D. as an oriental Tue – Sat Sat 10 am – 5 pm Sat 10 am – 5 pm art form. It’s the art of making crystals 11 am – 4:30 pm (Feb – Dec) in the glaze which are formed by creating a snowflake using zinc oxide in the glaze while it’s in liquid form at around 2,000-plus degrees. You Chris Luther Eck blend the glaze to melt into glass while Bulldog Pottery 110 McCanless the clay vitrifies. In the 1980s, the 5 15 Smithsonian bought several of my Pottery 4823 Busbee Rd, Pottery pieces, and various North Carolina 3306 US Hwy 220 Alt, Seagrove 6077 Old US Hwy 220, Governors have purchased my art as Seagrove 336-301-3254 Seagrove gifts for dignitaries around the world; 910-428-9728 336-873-7412 Mon – Sat 9 am – 6 pm but the thing I’m most proud of is that Tue – Sat 10 am – 5 pm Tue – Sat I’m still here making pottery the same 10 am – 5 pm way I’ve done it for the past 40 years!”
