On Thursday, July 27, Randolph Community College’s Small Business Center and the North Carolina Pottery Center will team up to offer a “How to Start a Pottery Business” seminar for aspiring ceramic artists. Featuring local business expert Ed Ormsby and Seagrove-area potters Hitomi Shibata and Dan Triece, this seminar will provide attendees with information tailored toward getting started within the ceramics field. Panel members will also answer questions from the audience.
Speakers include local business expert Ed Ormsby, who is a published author and has many years of experience in helping small businesses succeed. Ed will be joined by two Seagrove potters, both of whom will share their insights into the rewards and challenges in establishing a pottery shop. Originally from Japan, Hitomi Shibata has studied and made pottery for more than 25 years. She and her husband Takuro have run Studio Touya in Seagrove since 2008. Dan Triece specializes in copper luster raku and functional stoneware, and has had his pieces featured throughout the East Coast. Dan has run Dirtworks Pottery in Seagrove for over 20 years.
