Born in 1923 Mary Gibson-Horrocks trained at Wimbledon School of Art before embarking on a successful career as a potter. After a brief stint at Bulmer Brickyard in Suffolk, Gibson-Horrocks enrolled as a student at Bernard Leach’s pottery in St Ives. In the late 1940s she worked with Michael Cardew, and in 1953 moved to Bovey Tracey, Devon to work with Alfred Ehlus (in the pottery that was later taken over by David Leach, becoming known as Lowerdown). It was whilst there that she met Lucie Rie - a close friend to Ehlus - who gave advice on her throwing. Gibson-Horrocks later moved to Buckfast Abbey in Devonshire, establishing a pottery to teach the monks. Specializing in thrown stoneware domestic ware, she married in 1969 becoming Mary Boys-Adams.
