About Jess

Hi Im Jess a ceramics artist from West Sussex, I live very close to the Sussex downs and to the sea ; I use aerial images of the downs and the surrounding landscapes looking at the changing seasons, this inform the my work at I make .

 I love corroded of surfaces, the contrast of rough and smooth line, patterns and texture that are found on stones, wood, glass and metal that has been weathered and broken down from natural erosion.

I like to see how the landscape changes from month to month and the effects that farming have on the land , from a aerial view you can see the patterns made by man or nature in the ground and this is how i make up my patterns on the surface of the clay.

My work take the form of decorative sculptural vessels for the home, wall hangings and bowls, my work is slab build out of a stoneware clay, I use underglazes and oxide on the surface of my work and fired to around 1260.

I also offer teaching at me small pottery studio at Field Place Pottery in Worthing I run group workshop and one to one session,please get in contect if you would like to learn more.

All the very best
