Janet Gaddy is currently a professor of art at Greensboro College, North Carolina, and has been a practicing potter for several years. She has taught a range of creative classes including fine arts (weaving, ceramics, painting), film editing and production, animation, and computer graphics.

By virtue of time, Timothy Moran is what most people would consider a novice to pottery. He spent the majority of his years in the television and radio broadcasting business, retiring at an early age to pursue a less stressful lifestyle. His introduction to pottery came only four years ago as a form of therapy after his life changing triple by-pass surgery. For the first two years, pottery was a growing interest and an occasional past time, but for the past two years it has become a passion. His patience, persistence and love of the craft have brought Tim far beyond the level of a beginner to a serious Master Potter. Influenced by his life-long collection of antique European art glass, Tim has developed a unique and creative style that reflects his Irish heritage.
