Gottfried Aust, the first Moravian potter in North Carolina, moved into this shop after it was built in 1755. He, and several other potters who followed him in Bethabara, produced utilitarian redware pottery including many kinds of vessels, mugs, tobacco pipes, and tile stoves. Thousands of pottery shards and other Moravian artifacts recovered at Bethabara represent what is considered one of the most important Colonial American archaeological sites.

"Br. Ausr burned pottery today... the glazing did well—and so the great need is at last relieved. Each living room now has the ware it needs, and the kitchen is finished."
Bethabara Diary, September 10, 1756.
