This richly illustrated book tells the story of the successful
collaboration of Jacques and Juliana Royster Busbee in the creation
of a remarkable folkcraft enterprise called Jugtown. This
improbable venture, founded in a most unlikely setting, has left
its indelible mark on a remote Southern community. Fully
illustrated with numerous black-and-white and color photographs of
the place, the people who made pottery there, and the pottery
produced by them, the book tells how the Busbees convinced a few of
rural Moore County’s old-time utilitarian potters to make
new-fangled wares for them to sell in Juliana’s Greenwich Village
tea room and shop. Following New Yorkers’ wild acceptance of
their primitive-looking and alluring pottery offerings, the Busbees
built their own workshop in rural Moore County and called it
Jugtown. Today, nearly one hundred potters make and sell their
wares within a few miles of Jugtown—all because a hundred years
ago, the Busbees and their Jugtown potters found a new way to make
old jugs. Stephen C. Compton is an independent scholar and an avid
collector of historic, traditional North Carolina pottery. Steve
has written numerous articles and books about the state’s
pottery. Widely recognized for his North Carolina pottery
expertise, the author is frequently called upon as a lecturer and
exhibit consultant and curator. He has served as president of the
North Carolina Pottery Center, a museum and educational center
located in Seagrove, North Carolina, and is a founding organizer,
and former president, of the North Carolina Pottery Collectors’
Guild.
