She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Joy has completed Artist Residencies at Odyssey Center for the Ceramic Arts in Asheville, NC, Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Newcastle, Maine, and the EnergyXchange in Burnsville, NC. She teaches pottery workshops and exhibits her work in regional and national galleries. In 2007 Joy established her own clay studio near Penland School of Crafts in Bakersville, North Carolina.
