Jean Woodham was born on August 16, 1925, in Midland City, Alabama, and grew up in the southeast Alabama town of Geneva. She earned a bachelor's degree in applied art from Alabama Polytechnic Institute, now Auburn University, in 1946, and moved to New York City that same year. There she studied at the Clay Club Sculpture Center and was among the first students to take up welding as a fine-art technique, a method that would define her work.
