Fine & Functional: Early Buncombe County Pottery

"Clay is a versatile and abundant material.  It is easily molded, pounded, flattened, pinched, scored, turned or accepting of any number of other effects.  It can be worked into small fine objects, or large massive forms.  Clay has been, and is important to the welfare of Buncombe County both in economic and artistic terms."
