A Gatherer of Clay | Cathy Terepocki | Episode 1048 Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

Over the past fifteen years of Cathy Terepocki's ceramics career she's had a diverse practice exhibiting, teaching, designing, and producing multiple collections of work. The backdrop of Cathy's studio is a large expanse of forest, with a river close by and the Cascade Mountains in view on a clear day. The influence of living close to nature is also something that has worked its way into Cathy's design practice. Cathy is most keenly aware of it in her choice of surface decoration - patterns abstracted from nature, vertical lines that mimic bare trees or grids that reference orchard rows. Glaze surfaces are inspired by mossy fence posts or the speckled smooth matte finish of a river stone.
