Louisburg Gardeners
Visit Jugtown Potters
On Thursday, November
6, The Louisburg Garden
Club motored to Jugtown to
visit and observe the demon
strations by the potters in
this section.
Club members learned that
a number of potters from
Staffordshire, Kngland settled
in or near Moore County,
around 1750, because of the
availability of good surface
clays. The potters made all
kinds of jugs and jars to
preserve and serve food,
candlesticks for light and
even jugs for grave head
stones that can' still be seen.
The making of pottery in
)? ?? > , hit* on . \/fti
creased wilh the growth of
the whiskey business but
when prohibition became law
in 1908 most of the potteries
went out of business.
The story of Jugtown Pot
tery began in 1915 whtn two
talented people from Raleigh,
N. C., Jacques and Juliana
Busbee became interested in
the handcrafts of North Caro
lina which were on the wane
early in this century.
When Mrs. Busbee was a
judge at a county fair in
Lexington she saw a "brilliant
orange glaze pie plate." The
Busbees' enthusiasm for the
pie plate led them to Moore
Cotlnty In search for potters.
Thfcy' fbuM only Ave or nix
continuing to make the
crocks and jars needed by the
neighborhood. The Busbees
set themselves a challenge to
revive the dying industry.
They collected the ware and
opened a tea room in New
York to sell the pottery. It
was a great success but there
was not enough ware to sup
ply the shop. In 1921 they
decided to build and operate
a pottery themselves naming
it "Jugtown." They estab
lished rigorous standards for
the ware and an exceptional
pottery was created here and
through the yean has re
mained in great demand.
Jugtown continue* today
as a demonstration of the
early life-style of American
potteries. The buildings are
long cabins, the pug mill is
drawn by horse, and the ware
is turned by hand and fired in
ward and oil burning kilms.
Other potteries visited by
the club members were the
Ben Owens' Pottery. Coles'
Pottery and Seagrove Pottery.
At Seagrove, a tour of the
Potters Museum was con
ducted by Mr. Tom Preaneil,
historian for the museum.
The story of Jugtown and
surrounding potters area
should be of interest to all
North Carolinians as it is part
of their cultural and historical
heritage.
