William C. Ketchum (1931 - 2021)

The American Folk Art Museum mourns the passing of historian, author, and educator William C. Ketchum. Mr. Ketchum taught classes at the Museum and at the Museum’s Folk Art Institute and was an expert on New York State pottery, especially stoneware. His book, Potters and Potteries of New York State, 1650-1900 remains a major reference work.
