Sara
Ayers
 Born 1919, Catawba Indian Reservation, York County, South Carolina
For over thirty years, Sara Ayers
and her husband Foxx have dug
clay together, built pots in their
kitchen and burnt wares in a backyard
pit in West Columbia. Ayers has
received many awards, including
the South Carolina Folk Heritage
Award, and her work is in the
collections of numerous museums.
Pottery is an essential element
of Ayers' life. It is part of
her faith, her family, and her
identity.
"Pottery is my life. It
has helped me through some of
life's rocky times."
