Bill Jones is an artist working in Western North Carolina. His work pulls heavily from languages of traditional functional pottery while also focusing on the sculptural potential of clay. Hailing from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Jones studied architecture and design at Lehigh University and the University of Michigan before finding his way to Penland School of Craft in North Carolina. After being immersed in the world of clay, he moved to Seagrove, NC for a formal apprenticeship. Jones has exhibited around the country including at The Smithsonian Craft Show and The St. Croix Valley Pottery Tour and is currently the long term resident artist at Township 10 in Marshall, NC.
