Janice Latham. Pottery ran in the family since the 1800's on Bruce's
grandmother's side, with the Luck family. Bruce and Janice, determined to be
self taught, took pottery up as a hobby without any formal class training.
Once
you’ve seen their pieces, you’ll understand what good teachers they were. They
opened their shop full time in 1993 and really love turning pottery.
Their
specialty is a hand turned basket with handmade flowers on top and on both
sides, and you can always tell authentic pieces by the special signature of
Bruce's full name. These treasured baskets have become Bruce Latham’s trademark
piece.
Bypass 2 miles north of Seagrove close to Jugtown
Café. Stop in and see Bruce and Janice when you can. Just look for the sign.
