Barbara Flathers (she/her) has been in love with ceramics since, as a young Girl Scout, she first saw a potter's wheel being used at Old Sturbridge Village, near to where she grew up in Western Massachusetts. She dabbled with ceramics during her high school years and also at her time at Holyoke Community College.
Barb attended Massachusetts College of Art where she studied ceramics with Ben Ryterband, John Baymore, and Jana Longacre. After graduating with a BFA in Ceramics, she spent several years restoring architectural terra cotta on buildings in and around Boston and other cities in New England. She then moved from Boston to Johnson, Vermont where she has lived, worked, and raised her family ever since.
Barb received her MFA from Northern Vermont University where she focused on glaze design and functional wheel-thrown ceramics. You can find her currently kayaking around Lamoille county and making things with clay.
