An Iowan farm girl who originally studied as a school teacher Edith Heath would excel in the mandatory art classes of the teaching college and go on to study in the Federal Art Project training school where she would fall under the influence of former Bauhaus tutor László Moholy-Nagy. After meeting her husband and moving to Sausalito California  she began to experiment with a home-made pottery wheel developing her distinctive use of proportion and color, eventually opening Heath Ceramics in 1948 creating inventive, naturalistic pottery with Frank Lloyd-Wright and Eero Saarinen among her patrons. As of 2011 Heath Ceramics is one of the few Mid-Century Modern potteries still operating with her original lines  produced continually since 1948.
