Meet the Mods
Ammie Williams is an artist living in Atlanta, Georgia. She creates bright and fun ceramic pieces, most notably Rainbow Mugs. She started her career in the PYOP industry 15 years ago and has been designing bisqueware, silkscreens, and stickers with Bisque Imports for the last 5 years. She teaches painting techniques and social media and branding classes online and in person at conferences across the country. She has built and fostered an extremely dedicated Instagram audience who love following her life and work through daily updates. The same audience often breaks her website trying to buy her handpainted ceramic pieces. When she’s not posting on Instagram (this is rare), she enjoys reading with a beer, watching Real Housewives, or working in her Hobonichi planner.
