About the Maker
created by
Kerry Brooks
location
Minnesota
Potter Kerry Brooks was heading towards a PhD in American Cultures from the University of Michigan before she decided to move to Ann Arbor and train in ceramics instead, from 1988 to 1992. The next year, she moved to Minneapolis, and co-founded a four-person pottery collective the year after that. The other three potters eventually moved on, so she's run the business herself for the last 15 years. As an employer (currently of 45 people) and gallery host, she has influenced the next generation of Minnesota clay artists, and many of her employees are artists in their own right. Pottery remains Kerry's passion, but she loves to travel and sing when she's not running her business, doing philanthropic work, or raising her daughter.

Best Housewarming Gift
Came out better than I was expecting! Heavy, glazed well and everyone needs spoon rest. Colors are great and big enough to rest a large utensil or two!

Excellent quality
Got the Texas one for a friend who moved to Florida from there. She loves it! It's about the size of your hand and really sturdy ceramic with pretty blue glaze. Exactly like the product photo.

PERFECT gift for out-of-state family who has everything!
I bought the ceramic spoon rest holders for Florida (green) and Massachusetts (blue) and both families LOVED them! Handmade by a gifted artist - excellent quality. It's not just a spoon rest, it's art!

Great hand crafted state gift
Purchased two states as gifts for my daughter and her boyfriend who currently live in another state. I got each of them their home state and they loved them. Now they will have their family home state in their new home state! Heartfelt keepsake to remind them where they came from.

I did not see in the description that the glaze is free of lead and food safe (I assume it is) so I wanted to check.
Verified reply from Michelle
Hi! These spoon rests are finished in lead-free food-safe glazes.

We're sorry! The maker glazes each state with a consistent color.

How much does this item weigh? I will be traveling and wanting to pack sure it is not too heavy

Is the surface of of the spoon rest flat or contour (so it could actually catch the drips)?
Verified reply from Amy
Each of these spoon rests has a curve to it to catch drips! The exact shape varies a little from state to state, and also due the nature of each of these being a little different from each other, as they are handcrafted.
