Chicago potter inspired by mid-century forms and Chicago's architectural history.

Anne E. Terpstra is a Chicago potter who throws functional and decorative work for the home and garden. She’s always been drawn to mid-century modern design, and this is reflected in the clean lines of many of her forms. She also loves the contrast of glaze against clay body and explores this through a variety of taped lines that let the fired clay play against the surrounding glaze. Many of her designs are inspired by stained glass from Chicago’s own Prairie style, along with art deco and mid-century patterns.

Ceramic Holiday Trees - Midcentury Lines, Colors

from $59.00

These ceramic holiday trees are thrown on the wheel as an enclosed form before being trimmed to a smooth finish. The sleek surface of the dark brown stoneware is the perfect canvas for a tape resist technique. Inspired by Chicago’s Prairie Style stained glass, these unique pieces are designed and taped out by hand before glazing. Once removed, the taped lines allow the variety of glazes to play against the exposed clay body beneath.
