==Life==
'''''Dorothy Auman''''' is a potter whose works won a [[North Carolina Heritage Award]], in1989, from the [[North Carolina Arts Council]]. Auman was born to a potter family: her father owned a pottery business but wasn't a potter himself, though her grandparents and cousin were avid potters. As an adult, she married another person from a potter family, Walter Auman, and they created a business, "The [[Seagrove]] Pottery," in which they sold their work. Auman was also interested in the origins and traditions of pottery and spent time collecting and documenting it, until selling it to pay for life expenses. The [[Mint Museum of Art]] bought her collection for public exhibit.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NthPuwkB4xAC|title=The Remarkable Potters of Seagrove: The Folk Pottery of a Legendary North Carolina Community|last=Brown|first=Charlotte Vestal|date=2006-01-01|publisher=Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.|isbn=9781579906344|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://search.ncarts.org/heritage_details.php?id=11175&type=art|title=Welcome to the Arts in North Carolina!|last=LLC|first=Zencos Consulting|website=search.ncarts.org|access-date=2016-04-06}}</ref><ref>Bridges,Daisy ''In Prayse of Pots'' publisher The Mint Museum of Art</ref>▼
