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.
"I hope that the ceramics that I produce reflect the joy and care that goes into each and every piece.... I also hope they all find a forever home where they are loved and used daily!"
