Darin Gehrke

Greenville, SC

Darin R. Gehrke, a potter from Greenville, South Carolina, creates handcrafted ceramics designed for everyday use. Gehrke’s passion for pottery and its interaction with its user was significantly shaped by his Penn State University professor, Chris Staley. Throughout his career, which spans over two decades, Gehrke has explored pottery in urban settings and conducted extensive research in Asia. These experiences have contributed to his distinctive clean and modern style. Gehrke’s work often incorporates elements of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ceramic forms. His strong ceramic shapes are complemented by a serene and soothing palette of glazes, including celadon greens and silky whites. Gehrke’s creations can be found in homes, restaurants, and galleries, including his own Darin R. Gehrke Ceramics Gallery and Studio located in the Village of West Greenville’s arts district.
