About Us
The Triangle Studio’s gallery features pottery by the founders, Kate Waltman and Erin Younge. They have fired wood kilns together for 9+ years making them a collaboration created by fire. After working together for several years they decided to join forces in renovating a building near downtown Seagrove, NC. That building is now a pottery gallery and studio spaces for its artists. Our artists make a wide variety of work including dinnerware, storage vessels, decorative vases, planters, sculptures, big pots, and jewelry. Check out each of their individual Potter profiles for more information about each of their work.
The original brick structure was built sometime after the railroad was brought to Seagrove at the turn of the 20th century. During the early years the building was a restaurant less than a mile from town center. In the late 1940’s it was converted into a gas station called the Triangle Service Station where local businesses, and traffic through downtown Seagrove, could have their vehicles serviced or pick up concessions. Some years later it began to service the larger cargo trucks that transported goods for the cannery, now known as Historic Luck’s Cannery, just up the road.
The property’s triangular shape influenced its name when it was built back in the early 1900’s and although it was abandoned for the last 33 years it is being restored to a new glory. As of 2019, the building houses three studio spaces and a gallery with pottery and ceramic sculpture by the founding artists and their occasional guests.
Come visit or follow us on social media to see the renovations in progress and the beautiful pottery and sculpture on display!
