About 

Hi I'm Jan!

I have been passionate about pottery since my twenties. I am constantly thinking about new shapes, designs or finishes and whenever I leave the studio I can't wait to get my hands back into the clay.  

The majority of my work is made using a white stoneware and is thrown on the potter's wheel. My pieces are functional and I make them to be used daily.  I produce tableware to make every meal a bit more special and to enhance the eating experience.  This is accomplished through their shape, style, colour and feel.

I love picking one of my latest bowls from the cupboard for my morning porridge while watching the news. Each bowl is made to be cradled with gentle shoulders and a very tactile thick, glassy glaze finish.  It has a 'feel good' factor, even on a Monday morning!

I sell my creations through this website, my Etsy Shop, and local Markets / Fairs.  If you live in or near Bournemouth, contact me if you want to avoid shipping costs or would like to visit my pottery studio in Southbourne.
