VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 1-1-691 SO AS TO DESIGNATE EDGEFIELD POTTERY AS THE OFFICIAL FOLK POTTERY OF THIS STATE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The General Assembly finds that:
(1) two hundred years ago in the old Edgefield District of South Carolina there began a pottery-making tradition based on Chinese technology, using English traditional methods to make diverse types of pottery;
(2) this tradition moved south and west as far as Texas with the Old Edgefield District becoming nationally known as the beginning of the alkaline glazed pottery tradition; and
(3) today, the nineteenth century alkaline glazed pottery tradition is recognized internationally as a cherished art form with contributions from white settlers, African and Native American artists, and has brought great distinction to the State of South Carolina.
SECTION 2. Chapter 1, Title 1 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 1-1-691. Edgefield Pottery is designated as the official folk pottery of this State."
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
