About Billie and Kate

Billie and Kate married in 1968 and began their career in glass blowing as resident artists at Penland School of Crafts in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Katie was initially a clay sculptor but converted to glass and they have combined their talents to produce a beautiful line of sculptural and functional work. They are best known for their glass goblets, wine glasses, pitchers and vases. Their signature work is adorned with faces and occasionally depict their dog Murphy. Their work is collected by many in New Bern.
