The Seagrove Area Potters Association held a show and studio tour on the weekend of 11/19/22 at the Thompson Arts and Event Hall. One of the primary goals for the HIstoric Lucks Cannery project has been to provide a place for potters to have their annual celebration show and sale. We are glad to see this finally happen and anticipate even larger numbers of exhibitors and guests when the phase II renovation is completed. Phase II will more than double the size of the exhibit space in the future. There were many volunteers that helped make the event happen. The town of Seagrove purchased pipe and drapes that can be used at subsequent events. There were food trucks on site with an outdoor eating area. There was a silent auction of some amazing pieces of pottery made by various potters collaborating together. Parking almost entirely filled up on Saturday morning and was managed by the Boy Scouts. Demonstrations were provided by well known potters. Visitors could also visit many of the studios that were open on the same day as well. Early bird attendees were able to avoid the line and get in early. Unofficial attendance was estimated at about 4000 over the two day event.
