Betty Baugh
Betty Baugh is a ceramics artist who is part of the studio glass movement centered in Toledo, Ohio and Corning, New York, and has contributed to the Pyrex line of kitchenware among many other glass manufacturers. She is also a Fellow and past President of the Industrial Designers Society of America (ISDA). Her design philosophy is in allowing the material she uses to function as part of the final object by limiting the amount of transformation the material undergoes.[1]
Early life and education
Betty Baugh grew up in San Antonio, Texas. She earned an associate's degree in liberal arts at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri and in 1953 received her bachelor's in fine arts from the New York State School of Industrial Ceramic Design at Alfred University in New York.[2][3] While a student, she created pottery at San Antonio's Witte Museum.
Career
Baugh and her husband, fellow designer Wayne Husted, relocated to West Virginia, where she taught ceramics at the Huntington Museum of Art and designed handblown glass. Husted became design director of Blenko Glass Company.[1]. In 1956, Baugh designed a glass decanter and stopper for Blenko, one of which is now held at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.[4]
In 1972, Baugh moved to Marin County, California, with her partner and four children, first to Tiburon and relocating to nearby Mill Valley in 1986. During this time, she developed designs for several companies as an independent consultant, including architectural glass concepts for USG Corporation, tabletop designs for Villeroy & Boch and Wilton Armetale, and food service product designs for Libbey Incorporated and L.E. Smith Glass and Grainware.[citation needed]
Moving north to Kirkland, Washington in 1993, she designed houseware products for Progressive International, including a food grater.[5] During this time, she also took a series of roles in service to her industry through Industrial Designers of America, culminating in a term as President in 2001-2002.
Baugh returned to the Bay Area in 1999, resuming her independent design practice and showing work at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington and the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio. In 2002, she began teaching at California College of the Arts.[citation needed]
In 2002, Baugh talked about her design of new pieces from a drafting table with the Toronto Star.[6]
Awards and honors
In 2000, Baugh received an award of merit in the Northwest Design Invitational Competition.[3]
Baugh was elected a Fellow of the Industrial Designers of America in 2003.[2][7]
