Bill grew up in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and graduated from F&M College; he served in the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone before studying pottery with Charles Counts at Rising Fawn, Georgia. Bill and his wife Sharon moved from Chattanooga to Penns Creek in ’78 where they established Penns Creek Pottery and raised two wonderful kids, Ben and Emily. Bill wholesaled and sold his pottery at shows until he restored Sampsel’s Mill in 1989, when the old mill was repurposed as a place where pots are made and sold to the public.
