Betty Blue

Betty Blue was born on the Catawba Reservation in 1934. Her father was Floyd Raymond Harris, former Chief of the Catawba Nation and World War II veteran. Her mother was Nola Campbell a Master Potter. She learned to make pottery by rubbing pots for her mother and experimenting on her own. She started making pottery on her own in the early 90s. She enjoys the results she gets from working with the clay. Her signature pieces are the Rebecca pitcher and the loving cup. She hopes to pass her skills on to the next generation by teaching her grandson.
