This website was created to serve as an informational and educational tool concerning Catawba Valley Folk-Art Potters and their wares.
Our MissionCVPNC is committed to the preservation of the tradition of Catawba Valley pottery. These potters are dedicated to traditional 19th century methods almost lost in the first half of the 20th century. Burlon Craig of Vale, NC continued the 19th century methods of pottery making for many years as the last "old-time" potter and by doing so, kept the Catawba Valley tradition alive. Fortunately, there were a few potters who worked with Burlon in his later years before his passing. Burlon would then pass the traditional methods of pottery making to the next generation, just as it was passed to him many years before. It is our mission to continue, in the sprit of Burlon, to keep the Catawba Valley Pottery tradition alive and well for many generations to come.
