Acquaetta Williams is a sculptor, glassblower and painter. Internationally and nationally educated, Ms. Williams studied under Harvey Littleton at the University of Wisconsin and Dale Chihuly in master classes at Pilchuk in Seattle, Washington.  She received an Arts International Travel Grant that included travel to Benin in West Africa to study subjects and collect materials.

Ms. Williams has lectured across the U.S. and was the Artist-In-Residence at the New York Experimental Glass Workshop. She was also an Associate Member of the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ibaden in Nigeria.

Acquaetta's art begins with secondhand components--old clarinets, vinyl records, roller skates, piano keys, stop watches--assigning new purpose to objects often considered obsolete.
