A Legacy in Clay: Two Generations of Pottery Excellence
Step into the world of a master craftsman. Will is a second-generation potter, carrying on a rich family tradition from the heart of Seagrove, North Carolina. His passion lies in two distinct and beautiful specializations: the intricate, mesmerizing patterns of crystalline glazes and the vibrant, artistic flair of brush-decorated maiolica.
His journey has taken him from the historic kilns of Seagrove to a sister studio in Melbourne, Australia. While his locations are on opposite sides of the world, his commitment to teaching the art of pottery is the same. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced artist, Will offers a range of classes to ignite your creativity.
Explore Your Creativity with Him:
Wheel Throwing: Learn the rhythmic art of shaping clay on the potter's wheel.
Hand Building: Master techniques to create unique sculptures and functional wares without a wheel.
Ceramic Painting: Bring your pieces to life with colorful glazes and designs.
Will's studios are designed to be a hub for the ceramics community. He offers studio access for independent artists, a professional kiln firing service, and a variety of flexible learning options, including 4- and 8-week term classes as well as half-hour, one-hour, and two-hour workshops.
With a career spanning continents, Will has had the privilege of working with esteemed institutions like Bendigo Pottery and Dover Pottery, and serving as the president and executive director at Castlemaine Clay. His passion for pottery extends beyond the studio; he co-founded one of the largest pottery festivals in the southeastern US.
His work has been recognized in publications like Southern Living Magazine, Our State Magazine, and Pinehurst Magazine. The Winston-Salem Journal even dubbed him "the pottery laureate of NC, " a title that reflects his dedication to this beautiful craft.
Come and share in this legacy. Whether you're looking for a one-time experience or a long-term artistic journey, Will's studios offer a welcoming space to learn, create, and connect.
