Jedd Peters pottery
“I see myself as a master of all the aspects of making pottery – and have dedicated my life to the art. I continue to experiment with texture and surface decorations with color and patterns. I feel it is very important to push myself to make new forms on the wheel and not settle with reproducing popular items. I continue to share my pottery with the public through art fairs and galleries throughout the United States.”
At age sixteen, Peters had his first high school pottery class and was hooked. Two years later he began a four year apprenticeship at Linden Hills Pottery, a small porcelain pottery shop in Minneapolis. After college he worked as a production potter at several pottery shops in Minnesota and Wisconsin where he honed his clay skills. Jedd continued, “In the last several years I have developed

of my own body of work and displayed my art through the Midwest. I have had my work displayed in solo shows and have shown my work at many juried art shows including the Edina Art Fair Uptown Art Fair, Excelsior Art on the Lake, Duluth Bay Front Art Fair, Stillwater Fall Art Fair, Willmar Celebrate Art Celebrate Coffee, Sioux Falls Art Fair and Willmar Area Studio Hop. I have been invited and am showing at galleries such as the Tamarack Gallery, Stillwater, MN; Brickyard Pottery and Glassworks, Shell Lake, WI; and Higher Fire Clay Gallery, Madison, WI.”
Peters is the owner of Mill Pond Clay Works in Spicer, MN and is the recipient of four previous Individual Artist grants from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council. He attended Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota focusing on pottery.
