Ruthann Tudball: I was born and raised in California, United States, where I met my future husband, a student on a visit to my high school. I moved to England to marry him in 1968. At the University of Reading in Berkshire I graduated in English Language and Literature in 1974, followed by a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. While studying I started going to a local pottery studio, taking advantage of the time between the lessons and learned initially turning on his own. I then attended a postgraduate course at the University of London, Goldsmith's College, and in 1987 I graduated cum laude with a thesis on the steam with soda steamer glazing. We led me to write a book, "Soda Glazing", published by A & C Black in 1995. Since 1989 I started working full time as a potter. I have held regular workshops around the world, teaching turning, handling and installation of forms still wet on the wheel and cooking soda. . .
