Scientology Network’s MEET A SCIENTOLOGIST, the weekly series spotlighting the
everyday lives of Scientologists from around the world and all walks of life, announces an
episode featuring historically accurate clothiers Bill and Virginia Watson, premiering on August
12, 2025.

MEET A SCIENTOLOGIST airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Blending history with fantasy, Bill and Virginia Watson create era-specific clothing and
accessories inspired by periods ranging from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance. Championing
traditional craftsmanship, they support a wider community of artisans through apprenticeships
and by incorporating the work of other craftspeople into their products.

ABOUT BILL AND VIRGINIA WATSON
Bill Watson was born in Anchorage, Alaska, and began studying leatherworking as a teenager.
Virginia Watson, a Hawaii native, has been creating art since childhood. The two met in
Washington, DC, and later became partners in life and business. They launched their company,
Potomac Leather Company, in her father’s attic, later specializing in historical reproductions.
Their high-quality garments have become a staple at Renaissance fairs, and their traditional
Scottish kilts are now the most popular attire at one of the largest annual clan gatherings in the US. Both Bill and Virginia have earned Master Craftsman recognition, and their company has become synonymous with the highest quality in historically accurate, handcrafted clothing.
