Pottery - 2008
Mary and Peter Denzer
7246 Chisholm Road
Houston MN 55943
Mary and Peter Denzer of Seven Bridges Pottery have been making functional, wheel-thrown and handbuilt, high-fired reduction stoneware and porcelain pottery for almost 30 years. They use simple methods, such as paddling, faceting, slip-trailing with colored clays, brushwork, and glaze-trailing to decorate their pots. Recently they have added to their functional line of pottery, pots brushed with colored terra sigillata with a design carved into the clay. Some of the designs are themes inspired by the potters’ decade long residence in Italy where they lived and worked as artists.
Seven Bridges Pottery is located in Southeastern Minnesota in a valley along which runs a spring fed creek. The Denzers’ goal is to make pottery that is visually beautiful and comfortably functional.
