Mary Lou Higgins' distinctive drawing style is unique in the field of studio ceramics in the late 20th Century. She was also a weaver, making complex compositions. Some of that interest in linear style transfer to her drawing style. Ms. Higgins went on to have a long career in the arts. Edward Higgins, whose dates I do not know, was the potter of the duo, and went on to take many photographs of ceramic processes used in literature of the "How To" area of ceramic pedogogy.
