Upon returning from his military duties in WW 2 Harris Strong ( 1920 - 2006 ) graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in chemical engineering. Later studied ceramic art at New York University.
Early in life his aunt, Henrietta “Brownie” Strong, an artist who owned her own greeting card company, inspired him to be an artist, but also to be practical about the need to earn a living. After several jobs and starting a company called the Potters of Wall Street, he and his wife, Rosyln founded Harris G. Strong, Inc., in the Bronx, N.Y., in 1950. Through innovative design and serendipity, he soon found success with decorated ceramic tiles and the company grew.
