Note: Horace Potter (1873-1948) graduated from the Cleveland School of Art in 1898, and furthered his studies in Boston and in England with C. R. Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft. Upon his return to Cleveland, Potter worked in conjunction with Wilhelmina Stephan, showing considerable work at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1905 and the decennial exhibition of the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts in 1907. In 1908 Potter established a studio with a group of assistants, which was to become known as the Potter Studio.
