Fat Beagle Pottery was named in honor of
Doc's very fat beagle, Sally, who supervised the shop for
many years. The shop is owned by Charles (Doc) Tostoe, the
potter, his wife, Penny, and their son, Jon. Starting out as
an apprentice in the 70's and opening Fat Beagle Pottery
shop in the 80's, Doc continues to grow through constant
research and desire to try new techniques. In over 20 years,
he has become an accomplished potter who has exhibited along
the east coast from Rochester, NY, to Miami Beach, FL.
Fat Beagle specializes in a lovely assortment of functional
stoneware and decorative, one of a kind pieces, gas fired to
2400 degrees for durability and luster. Some of the shop's
specialty glazes are:
| *a toasty, tan clay body
with a splash of multi-color glaze we call "Stoneku". |
| *an irredescent, blue
textured mat glaze with a dry, coarse, feel. |
| *a beautiful, fluid ash
glaze which reminds some folks of a deep, wooded
forest. |
| *a more standard, functional
pottery with one or two main colors. |
|
| |

 |
From mixing clay and creating glazes, to
turning and firing, each piece of the unique pottery is
produced in the shop in Seagrove. The lovely selections of
functional and decorative stoneware are the rewards of over
20 years of experience., For a unique shopping experience,
come out to the rolling hills of the Piedmont and browse our
showroom. Restroom, picnic tables, and a country porch swing
are available for your comfort. Tour buses and groups are
welcome! |

At times, when the wind is right and the creek's
not rising, we produced a limited number of
traditional, Japanese pieces of Raku.
Various other styles incorporate carved, etched,
indented designs. Some feature compressed,
footed bottoms. |
