Stephen Ferrell

Stephen Ferrell has been an advocate for the alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery tradition for almost forty years. Ferrell and his father, Terry, began collecting and studying alkaline-glazed stoneware in the 1960s and today their collection is one of the most extensive private collections in the country. Their collection includes examples from all the potteries in the Edgefield area, Landrum potteries in Columbia, several upstate potteries, and Native American pottery.
