Bulldog Pottery - Fresh Pots for the Holiday Season December 4, 2010

Seagrove Potters Bruce and Samantha will have a freshly fired group of Moka glaze pottery with a few twists. Visit them at their Bulldog Pottery studio, 5 miles south of the town of Seagrove, NC on Business 220 for lively conversation about their recent work.

Seagrove Potters, Bruce Gholson and Samantha Henneke's studio is a collaborative environment that provides them with support to express themselves as individuals; more than, they could achieve singularly. They brainstorm for ideas by formulating and testing clays, glazes, surface treatments, and playing off of each other's intuition about the materials and processes. Bruce Gholson has been fascinated with fossils, reptiles and insects since childhood. Recent interests have included fossilization in amber, Chinese scholar stones, and arrowheads from the region. Samantha Henneke is inspired by the interplay between plant, insect and animal life forms, colors, textures, and shapes of vegetables and fruits.
