Betsy doesn’t remember a time in her life she wasn’t making something. The need to create is at the heart of who she is. She works predominantly in pottery and mixed media. Hand-building is her preferred pottery process and many of her pieces are animal-themed - usually done in stoneware. She also creates a line of happy faces, sometimes suns or moons, for home and garden decorating. For her, the only viable rules are the ones that have to do with safety – otherwise, it’s all about seeing where the clay takes her. She considers her work to be most successful when it causes smiles or giggles, since her goal is to lighten moods through the pieces she makes. She and her husband are grateful to be living in wonderful Wilmington!
