Pottery students traveled to Seagrove, NC on Thursday, November 1st where their trip to the potters' paradise began with a visit to the studio, showroom and museum of Ben Owen III.  Students were entranced by Owen's throwing prowess and deep-rooted traditions, passed down through generations of potters.  The journey continued with a tour at the NC Pottery Center and numerous other potters throughout the day, drawing inspiration from their different styles and techniques.
