Brian Wilson is a fourth generation potter. His great-grandfather, Loy Skelton, began making pottery in 1918. His grandfather, H. A. Wilson founded the Wilson Pottery business in 1927. As a young boy, Brian would practice spinning the clay and quickly learned to produce small flower pots which he proudly sold in the pottery store for one quarter.

In 1993 he completed his first face jug. He taught himself how to glaze his wares. Since then he’s produced thousands of folk art face jugs, roosters, specialized mugs and other eclectic pieces.
