BIOGRAPHY 

Tom and Sara Post are known for hand-built shapes that are loose and totally functional. The surfaces are finished with blended brush colors creating color fields highlighted by repeated geometric accents. 

The Posts began collaborating on ceramic pieces in 1976. Together they operated T.S. Post Ceramics producing a vast line of functional pieces from 1981-2005.  

After 2005 they focused on one of a kind pieces and wall collages using tiles to create color field paintings.
