I remember very clearly, approximately 50 years ago, my father buying the vase for me after we watched the potter make it. My father told me to take care of the vase as some day that man was going to be famous.

The pottery was founded by David Gil, who was a graduate of Alfred and fostered an environment of creative collaboration at the pottery, originally known at Cooperative Design,during the 1950s through the 1970s. I am organizing an exhibition of David Gil’s work, “Tradition, Innovation, and Good Design: The Ceramics of David Gil,” which will be on view at the Bennington Museum March 14-May 17. Due to the important role that creative collaboration played in Bennington Pottery’s early years I will be including examples of other artists who worked at the pottery, including a few by Tessema.

I often wondered what became of her and I am happy to see the beautiful work she created and sorry to hear she is no longer with us.
