Hadley Wiktor graduated from Kutztown University in 2020, earning both her BFA in Crafts and her BA in Art History. Initially, she planned to pursue a MA in Art History after graduation. However, because of the global pandemic, she opted to take on a production pottery role in Vermont instead. What she thought would be a brief learning experience quickly evolved into four years of personal growth, self-discovery, and a deep exploration of her identity as a potter. Towards the end of her time in Vermont, she knew that it was time for the next step in her artistic journey. Hadley packed up her life in pursuit of a Master of Fine Arts in ceramics and the goal of continuing to grow as an artist.
Hadley currently lives in Edinboro, Pennsylvania with her husband and dog, Oakley, where she is pursuing her MFA in Ceramics for the next three years at Penn West University Edinboro.
