254 Ruth Worrall For potter Ruth Worrall, life has been a discovery. Unafraid to change directions, her first major explora- tion was moving from her native Ecuador to the United States at age 16. Her career path has likewise been a journey, forever seeking that which touches her most profoundly. Worrall got a taste of making pottery in her twenties but then the yearning lay dormant for 15 years. She returned to it when she embarked on a quest to earn a college degree. "I took a pottery class and discovered the magic of pliable, durable, malleable, delicate clay," she says. Attracted by its potential, Worrall continued to work in ceramics while completing her bachelor's degree in photography. A member of the Rocky Neck Gallery and the Cape Ann Artisans, Worrall has exhibited and sold her painted and glazed bowls, vases, plates, mugs, and carv- ings in many North Shore shops. Admirers tell her they appreciate the elegant simplicity of her beautifully shaped earthy pieces. Ruth Worrall has a bachelor's degree in photography but pottery is her true love.
