Hello, We are studio art potters at Bulldog Pottery, Seagrove, North Carolina
Bruce Gholson and Samantha Henneke work side by side as full-time studio art potters at Bulldog Pottery.
We planted our artistic roots in central North Carolina, because of
our love for quiet living in a rural setting, and the pottery community of Seagrove.

““The molybdenum crystal is very elusive, less predictable, and more difficult to achieve than most other types of crystal. It differs from the zinc silicate and titanium crystal in that it is usually quite small and shaped like a rectangle, star, or diamond. In multitude they are double refracting, separating light into different colored rays. They seem to float on the surface of the glaze and display all the iridescent colors of the rainbow as light plays over them. The matrix is usually very lustrous and opaque. Often the crystals are very subtle only being seen when the pot is tipped to catch the light.””
