| Water tower landmark for Bulldog Pottery, Seagrove, NC |
It was a chilly weekend, and neither winter ice, or snow would stop the Montgomery County water tower from being cleaned and spruced up for "Cousins in Clay" this year, at Bulldog Pottery in Seagrove on May 31 - June 1, 2014.
During the past couple of weeks, intermittently through the snowy and rainy weather, our water tower has been prepped, cleaned, and now is being painted. This has become the landmark for our pottery ever since its construction in 2002. Sometimes it's such an enormous landmark, that folks can miss it when turning onto our gravel driveway right beside it's massive metal legs.
One of our honored guests, "Clay Cousin" Daniel Anderson from Illinois, has been long inspired by water towers. Water towers are wonderful structures, and are awesome inspirational architectural forms. Daniel Anderson has done this form so very well, it has become an icon that is identified with him when done in clay. He will be here at Bulldog Pottery early this summer, along with Blair Clemo and Michael Kline. We are looking forward to "
Cousins in Clay"!

Must have been scary up there! Water towers like this are often neglected, so it's impressive to see that it is being regularly maintained. Tall structures like this one can do some multi-tasking of its own. The owners of the tower can ask agents on how it could be used in some other way. Who knows, there's big money in leasing land!
