Terry Acker Pottery
Functional and decorative, hand-built, white stoneware trays, platters and vases; glazed in multiple layers of colors.
My pottery consists of nature inspired, hand-built stoneware trays, platters and vases. All my pottery is made by me, one at a time. In my studio, I start by rolling out slabs of clay that are cut up into the various shapes and sizes that are needed. Then they are stamped with leaves and textures, and accented with slip-trailing. I design and make all of my stamps. Using multiple layers of glazes; each piece is unique! I use studio glazes that may may have slight color variations, so no two pieces are alike. My work is safe for the dishwasher, microwave, and oven, and is meant to use everyday as well as for celebrating special occasions. It is art that you can use! Enjoy!
Made in the USA
