Folk
Georgia is famed for its bountiful clay resources.
It is not the state's ubiquitous red clay that has been exploited commercially, but more localized clays such as kaolin and fuller's earth.
Most important in the story of Georgia folk pottery is stoneware clay, concentrated as alluvial deposits along middle Georgia's fall line and scattered above in the Piedmont geologic province.
Wares made of this fine-grained, relatively pure clay, which fires to a light gray or tan, were tough enough to withstand rough usage on the farm.
Georgia's 450 or so known folk potters did not consider themselves artists but humble artisans, like the blacksmith or basket maker. They were in business to provide fellow farmers with such sturdy vessels as jugs to store whiskey and cane syrup, churns to make butter and buttermilk, and jars to preserve vegetables, fruit, and meat.
Before modern refrigeration and the availability of glass and metal containers, these wares were essential to Georgia's agrarian lifestyle.
