Mary Elizabeth (“Beth”) Springer Hone was born in 1918 in Halkirk, Alberta. She attended Saskatoon Normal School (1936) and received her BA from the University of Toronto (1941). During 1958-1959 studied ceramics at the School of Art in Farnham, England. She taught school in Saskatchewan and British Columbia prior to joining the Regina College School of Art extension program as a ceramics instructor, where she taught from 1959-1966. In 1968 she and Ann James established the Hone-James Studio in Regina, which they ran successfully until 1973 when their partnership was dissolved. She worked with stoneware, porcelain, batik, and ceramic sculpture. Beth died in 2011.
