Betsy Ledbetter
Betsy is originally from Rock Hill, South Carolina. She attended The College of Charleston and obtained a degree in Arts Management and Business. While in Charleston, Betsy enrolled in a pottery class at The Gibbes Museum of Art and found a new love. Mrs. Jessie Meaders, a longtime family friend and well known folk potter in North Georgia, encouraged Betsy to pursue pottery making. Betsy spent countless hours working with Jessie, and patiently honed her skills. Betsy began working at The Willows in the summer of 2003.
Ben Dockins
Ben's pottery career began when he joined The Willows Pottery in the fall of 2011. Taught by the Willows' very own Betsy Ledbetter, he has been throwing pots ever since.
