Series: Remembering our Clay Teachers
When Cathy started teaching at the Clay Studio, this is the bio that was posted:
Cathy Babula’s love of pottery began in high school where she focused
primarily on hand built work. Bypassing her secret dream of becoming a potter,
she pursued a degree in horticulture from SUNY instead. After a career as a
corporate trainer, she enrolled in pottery classes at the BMCA Clay Studio
concentrating on wheel throwing and rekindled her dream of being a professional
potter. She then entered the Professional Crafts/Clay program at Haywood Community College in 2010, graduating
with an Associate’s Degree in May of 2012.
Since plants and nature motifs are prevalent in her decorating, Babula
has come full circle by merging her original interests of pottery and
horticulture.
