The artwork was done on 90# cold pressed watercolor paper, each hand drawn and colored with transparent tube watercolors. Lettering was done with a fine tip permanent marking pen. The artwork was scanned and imported into a PowerPoint document formatted to the envelope size.

Text of Cachet, Back: SEAGROVE, NC Potters arriving in the Seagrove area in the 1700s were quick to realize the value of the local clay that fired to a beautiful reddish orange color. The clay, the Plank Road passing through the town and the railroad, all made Seagrove a popular destination for pottery shoppers.

Seagrove is known as the self-proclaimed pottery capital of the world, where artisans create handcrafted pottery made in the same tradition that began here more than 200 years ago. The area is home to more than 100 potters. Many attend the annual Seagrove Pottery Festival, held the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Seagrove is located on Route 705, just 15 minutes south of Asheboro and approximately 40 miles north of Pinehurst, North Carolina.
