Nola
Campbell
Born 1918, Catawba Indian Reservation, York County, South Carolina
When Nola Campbell teaches pottery,
she likes to establish with her
students the same kind of sustained,
one-on-one relationship that she
had with her mentor, Georgia Harris.
Campbell believes that the subtleties
of mixing clay and executing different
forms can take years to master.
Like Harris, Campbell is known
for her technical prowess. Her
command of the clay allows her
to make any form her imagination
can conjure up.
"Whatever comes in my mind,
that's what I'll make. I haven't
ever sat down and thought that
I'll make something and not made
it."
