Born into a family of clay tile makers, her knowledge of working with clay began in her early years. Exhibiting an interest in art and design, she ultimately became a widely recognized painter, winning numerous awards and acclaim from Los Angeles to Europe. Collaborating with her mechanical engineer husband George, she turned a personal endeavor into a thriving and beloved business that continues to capture new audiences in it's ninth decade. Her Work Lives On. Mary Alice died in 1965 after a brave and private battle against cancer. George continued to run the pottery until his retirement in 1979, when he sold it to local businessman Kenneth Moore. A company from St. Louis operated the pottery for a few years before passing the torch to the Day family, who have worked at Hadley for four generations. Brook Smith purchased Hadley Pottery in 2022. Throughout the years, the process and product have remained markedly unchanged. *Colors in plaque are blue white and pink. *Downsizing my collection
