Alabama Pottery Scene Today
Alabama pottery connects deeply to Southern traditions that stretch back generations. The state's rich clay deposits created historic pottery centers in places like Brent, where Miller's Pottery continues a 150-year family tradition. Their pots still use Alabama clay from Perry County, just like their ancestors did. This working pottery represents one of the few remaining traditional operations in America.
The Kentuck Festival of the Arts in Northport celebrates this heritage each October. This nationally ranked craft show draws over 15,000 visitors and features 270+ artists. Folk pottery legends like Jimmy Lee Sudduth and Charlie Lucas have shown their work here. The festival connects Alabama's pottery past with its creative present. Modern potters gather through the Alabama Craft Guild, which has supported local artists since 1972. University programs train new generations while community studios welcome hobbyists. From Birmingham's urban workshops to historic family potteries, Alabama keeps its clay traditions alive while embracing fresh artistic voices.
