Jenny specialises in domestic ware, working mostly in high-fired reduction stoneware. She uses traditional glazes which she modifies to create movement and colour. 

“I love both the meditative feeling of throwing familiar shapes and exploring new forms, the adventure of testing new glazes and the unpredictable nature of the whole ceramic process.”

  • Be 18+
