ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Mark Terry, MFA MEd 

Emeritus Professor of Art & Design

"A potter is one of the few people left who uses his natural faculties of heart, head and hand in balance – the whole [hu]man."   Bernard Leach, 1940

Mark has spent most of his adult life introducing students of all ages to the power of creativity – inviting them to join him in the experience of power and mystery attendant to being a maker.  A working professional potter and sculptor, he is happiest when up to his elbows in clay. Mark’s academic research focused on wood-fired ceramics, and for the last 20 years he has devoted much of his time outside the classroom to designing, building, and firing wood-fueled kilns.
