Harriet Coulter Joor received her Bachelor of Science degree from Newcomb College in 1895. Joor enrolled as a special art student from 1896 to 1900 and spent from 1900-1901 in graduate art. She was listed as a pottery designer from the years 1901-1904 and again from 1905-1906.
In 1900, Joor studied at Arthur Wesley Dow's summer school in Ipswich, New York, which stressed work in two areas: landscape, watercolors and charcoals and composition and designing. Dow, an important influence on concepts of design and instruction of art in the United States, advocated the use of outline drawing and, later, the use of incised lines on the body of the pot to clarify the outlines, both of which techniques were implemented by Newcomb in its pottery designs.
Joor was quickly recognized as an able decorator of pots. In 1904, she exhibited four works at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis in 1904; these pieces included a cracker jar with a tansy motif, a vase with stylized holly and a large vase with magnolia blosoms. After 1905, Joor moved to Chicago to pursue a teaching career.
