The Ferry Building Gallery is proud to present Walking in the Footsteps, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of renowned ceramic artist Zoltan Kiss and the work of his son, Peter Kiss and Tania Gleave. This exhibition marks Zoltan’s fourth show at the Ferry Building Gallery, his first shown in memory, Peter’s third, and Tania’s debut.
For over 50 years, Zoltan Kiss pursued a deep mastery of his craft. He built his own kilns, mixed his own glazes, and even imported clay from Wales to achieve specific effects. This intense technical control allowed space for joy and experimentation—qualities reflected not only in his ceramics but in his architectural paintings, where precision met spontaneity.
