Dr. Abner Landrum is credited with establishing the Edgefield Pottery tradition in the first decade of the 1800’s. Using local materials and his extensive knowledge, he began to produce a fine stoneware that was food safe and could be sold to markets up to 150 miles away. From this origin, dozens of other potteries sprang up. Experience the history and charm of this small, Southern town as host Devyn Whitmire attempts to delve into its celebrated ceramics of Edgefield, SC. Part of the "Go For It! Discover Something New" series.
