Betsy Williams 
  
A few years after graduating college, Betsy Williams moved to New York on a whim and was trained as a money market trader by the U.S. branch of a regional Japanese bank. During her 5 years there, her Japanese co-workers introduced her to the incredible world of Japanese culture, especially ceramics, and ultimately Betsy left her job with the bank to apprentice with ceramist Yutaka Ohashi of Karatsu, Japan. After 4� years of intensive training, Betsy returned to New Mexico to build her own adobe house and studio. She has been a professional potter for 13 years.

Birdie Boone

 

Birdie Boone is a maker of pots and researcher of the domestic realm, with a particular interest in personal identity, food, and modern lifestyles. She grew up in the slow culture of southwestern Virginia and the fast culture of San Francisco, and declared her intent to be a potter at the age of 6. Known for her minimalist handbuilt tableware and atypical glaze colors, Birdie currently lives and maintains her studio practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
