"Over the years of steadily making, decorating, and firing pots, something distinctly myself has slipped into the process. It's a sensibility as intangible and basic to me as the way in which I hold the salt shaker when I tilt it to pour, how I turn the pages of a book, or how I kick the potters wheel."
Terry Gess is a studio potter in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North California. He carefully finishes his pottery with multiple layers of porcelain laminated to the surface and fires it in an atmospheric salt kiln. Although the process is challenging and somewhat unpredictable, the prized one-of-a-kind results are a subtle, expressive collaboration between the potter, the clay, and fire.
Terry was educated at the Cleveland Institute of Art, Southern Illinois University ay Edwardsville, and Penland School of Crafts. His awards are many, his work included in collections worldwide.
This pottery is food safe, lead-free, dishwasher and microwave safe. Treated with care, it will provide years of pleasure and service.
