Barbara Bailey, Ceramics Instructor
Barbara has been a professional potter for more than 30 years. She has exhibited her work extensively throughout the southeastern United States. She currently operates a potter’s studio in Oviedo where she makes and sells her work. In 1956 she earned a Bachelors Degree from the University of Iowa, where she studied ceramics under James McKinnel. Barbara has been an instructor at Crealdé since 1988.

Artist's Statement
“For the past 30 years I have been making functional pots that I hope will enhance people’s lives through their utility and beauty. The vitality that is infused into the clay by the potter creates a feeling of human warmth that machine-made objects cannot. My satisfaction in being a potter comes from the joy of making, the luck of a good firing, and the pleasure others find in using my pots."
