For more than three decades, Don Williams has dedicated his life to clay, building a devoted following through his elegant wheel-thrown pottery, award-winning craftsmanship, and passion for teaching. Since 2001, he has worked alongside his wife and artistic collaborator, Cristina Williams, whose talents in painting, sculpture, and decorative surface design have expanded their creative practice into a true partnership. Together, their work merges technical mastery with imaginative storytelling, resulting in pieces that are both functional and expressive.
A Change of Seasons marks a deeply personal milestone for the artists, a celebration of 35 years of working in clay and a reflection on an evolving creative journey. While pottery remains at the heart of their practice, this exhibition represents a shift toward new artistic horizons, bringing painting to the forefront alongside a selection of special ceramic works. The exhibition highlights the intersection of these two disciplines, exploring transformation, collaboration, and the ways artistic passions continue to grow and change over time.
Inspired by a lifelong love of autumn, pumpkins, and Halloween imagery, the exhibition embraces the symbolism of seasonal change. Visitors will encounter whimsical and thoughtfully crafted works that celebrate the artists’ shared history, creative partnership, and enduring connection to clay. Through pottery, painting, and collaborative pieces, Don and Cristina invite viewers to join them in honoring the past while embracing an exciting new chapter.
