They lived and worked in New Hampshire from 1940 to 1968 and are internationally known potters who were active participants in the American studio ceramics revival of the mid-twentieth century. Their work is represented in numerous museum collections across the country and is highly prized by collectors. Starting their careers in the rural South in programs funded by Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Scheiers began their career together as traveling puppeteers. A stop at a ceramics lab in Tennessee piqued their interest in and fascination with clay and its potential. VG+ .
