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.

These snowflake ornaments began as a large thin disk of clay thrown on the wheel, and then a texture was applied with a rib as it spun. Once cut out, each snowflake carries that sense of organic movement with it, enhanced by the interaction of the soft white glaze with the dark brown stoneware beneath.
