Different Drummer Pottery

Different Drummer Pottery The working pottery studio of Terance Painter My name is Terance Painter and I have been a full-time potter since 1980.

My work consists of functional wheel-thrown stoneware and porcelain in a variety of colorful glazes. I also specialize in bas relief landscapes applied to the surfaces of vases, jars, and tiles for wall hanging. My studio, the Different Drummer Pottery, is in an old log cabin located on US Hwy 19 (Soco Rd) in the middle of Maggie Valley, NC just a few minutes from I-40 exit 20. My work area is always open for guests to come in and watch. Come on in and find out more about me and my work.

Often, inspiration in one area will lead to something else if you keep pulling that thread. This is a Fender acoustic guitar we modified to make it 10 strings with an unconventional tuning. Then Terance decorated it in a style similar to the etchings on our drums. We're working on a guitar and drum duet to post soon!
