Betty (Rogers) Large is best known as a Canadian broadcaster and author, but in retirement she pursued her interests in a number of things including taking courses at Holland College School of Visual Arts, including a pottery night course taught by her daughter Daphne Large in 1981.
It was in one of those courses that she made a ceramic sculpture in the tradition of the ceramic figurine.
She signed it with her initials B E L (Betty Elizabeth Large). In her writing, as an author she had adopted a variation on her maiden and married names Betty Rogers Large.
