Artists and gallery owners Ron and Tamara Propst are from Hickory, NC, and attended art school at East Carolina University in the 60's. Ron became a resident at Penland School of Crafts in 1967. After his residency, he established his own studio by the Toe River Bridge at Penland. The Propst's moved to Winston-Salem and became the reproduction potters for Old Salem and Ron established his studio at the West End house. 

Ron also studied in depth the tile-making and production of the tile stoves that the early Moravians used. In 1983, Ron moved his studio to 6th Street in the space where 6th & Vine is now located. Tamara was the Centershop Manager at the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA). 


The Propst's own The Other Half Gallery on Trade Street, Winston-Salem. Ron continues to produce wonderful pottery and special clay commissions across the country, as well as commissions for Moravian tile stoves.
