Pot full of cash needed

NCPCTough times for a nice museum, the North Carolina Pottery Center..

The decade-old center is in Seagrove, which the AP's Martha Waggoner wrote has "been described as the largest continuing community of European-based potters in the United States. In the mid-1700s, seven families from England settled within a five-mile radius of each other and began producing pottery from locally dug clay, and the area is now home to more than 100 potters."

Thanks, Dan. I do, too. Several museums have extensive collections of Seagrove Pottery, most notably the Mint in Charlotte, but it would be nice to have a first class museum in Seagrove, which the center is.
