The Folk Pottery Museum of Northeast Georgia showcases the handcraft skills of one of the South¿¿¿s premier grassroots art forms, and explores the historical importance and changing role of folk pottery
in
southern
life.
Northeast
Georgia¿¿¿s
pottery
tradition
is
nationally
known.
The
Meaders
family
of
White
County
was
featured
in
Allen
Eaton¿¿¿s
1937
book,
Handicrafts
of
the
Southern
Highlands,
and
was
honored
with
a
special
event
at
the
Library
of
Congress
in
1978,
when
the
Smithsonian
Institution¿¿¿s
documentary
film
on
the
Meaders
Pottery
was
released.
In
the
year
2000,
northeast
Georgia
received
a
Library
of
Congress
"Local
Legacies"
designation
for
its
pottery
heritage.
The
tradition
also
has
been
featured
in
magazines,
books,
videos,
exhibits,
and
festivals
such
as
the
Southern
Crossroads
Marketplace
at
the
1996
Olympic
Games
in
Atlanta.
Until
now
there¿¿¿s
been
no
institution
devoted
to
Northeast
Georgia
folk
pottery,
not
even
in
its
home
area.
Dean
and
Kay
Swanson,
former
owners
of
the
Standard
Telephone
Company,
have
committed
to
erect
this
museum
as
their
way
of
giving
back
to
the
people
of
the
area.
Collector
and
folk
potter
Michael
Crocker
helped
them
assemble
the
core
collection
on
which
this
exhibition
is
based.
