Making pottery. "For I remember stopping by the way to watch a potter thumping his wet clay". And today, as in Omar's time hands still shape the growing pot. Grace Hill Turnbull (1880 –1976) was an American painter, sculptor and writer. Born to a cultured family in Baltimore, Turnbull studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Art Students League of New York. She then turned her attention to sculpture, studying at the Rinehart School of the Maryland Institute and in Rome. In 1914 she received the Whitelaw Reid Prize in Paris, and she received the Anna Hyatt Huntington Prize in 1932 and 1944. Besides her artistic pursuits she wrote a number of books, including Tongues of Fire (1929), Essence of Plotinus (1934), Fruit of the Vine (1950), and the autobiography Chips from My Chisel (1953); she also wrote pamphlets and contributed articles to a variety of publications. Turnbull's 1941 sculpture Python of India is owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while two of her public artworks, a memorial to Lizette Woodworth Reese and a statue of a naiad, remain in Baltimore. A collection of her papers is held at Syracuse University. Her house in the Guilford neighborhood, which she had willed along with a collection of artworks to the Maryland Historical Society, still stands.
