Kurt Kuss started potting so long ago he doesn't admit when.
He met Mike at the
Brookline Art Center
and they continued potting together at
Mudflat Studio in 2003-2005.
Kurt F. Kuss reveals his artistic talents in several areas. He
creates jewelry from semi-precious stones, gold and silver. He is
also an award winning potter. He spent years as a professional chef
in the Chicago area; work he continues by making varieties of
chutney, sausages, and desserts. He even made his own wedding cake.
His profession as a chef was cut short by his vision loss, but
allowed him the opportunity to begin designing jewelry and working
with clay. He is co-owner of Access Umbrella, Inc., a consulting
company he runs with his wife and partner, Barbara Ceconi. Access
Umbrella was developed to address issues of access for people with
disabilities and implementation of universal design concepts. They
work with museums, cultural institutions, and corporations across the
United States and Canada.
He and Barbara have participated for years in the Brookline School's
Understanding Disabilities Program. Their motivation is to lower
attitudinal barriers that still confront people with disabilities on a
daily basis.
