Spring Picks from the LSU MOA Store

⊲ ceramic mugs ⊲ ceramic vases

⊲ ceramic hummingbird feeders ⊲ ceramic bird houses If you have shopped at the LSU Museum Store recently then you must have seen local ceramic artist Terri Kennedy’s latest creations. Kennedy says, “Louisiana is America’s original melting pot and I like to incorporate all of Louisiana’s culture into my pieces by carving the brickwork I see around me." Her work is reminiscent of the Ole’ French architecture of New Orleans. She incorporates an impressionistic style by layering a multitude of glazes and hand-built flowers native to Louisiana. Kennedy's work is mainly decorative, but are also functional wheel-thrown earthenware vessels, which she calls “Functional Sculpture."

For the last twenty-plus years Terri Kennedy has turned her love of molding things with clay into a lifelong endeavor of making beautiful but functional pottery from her home studio in Denham Springs, Louisiana. You can find a nice selection of Kennedy's handmade bird houses, hummingbird feeders, mugs, and so much more at the LSU Museum Store or go to www.PotterriStudio.com.
