Whynot Pottery, established in 1982, is located in and  named after the community of Whynot NC. Whynot, located in the center of the state of North Carolina, is just 2 miles from downtown Seagrove, NC. the famous capitol of traditional North Carolina pottery. (In fact we are just on the other side of the hill less than 5 minutes from downtown proper).

  At Whynot Pottery we make high-fired stoneware pottery. Take a  look through our site for a better understanding of our work
 
  What makes Seagrove, Whynot, and other communities in the immediate vicinity so unique is we are in an area where pottery has been continually made for about 300 years. We have one of the largest concentrations of working potters in the United States. There may be as many as eighty shops within a fifteen minute drive of Whynot Pottery.
