Jennifer Amon

Jennifer works from her studio on the edge of Dartmoor in South Devon - a quiet space to develop her practise. She makes vessels with a timeless simplicity, inspired by the beauty of nature and the ancient potters who remained closely attuned to their natural environment.

The vessels are hand built from black, red or white stoneware clays, using a pinch and coil method to preserve every mark and impression in the soft material.  The process is slow and rhythmic, allowing forms to grow organically. 

Surfaces are coated with thin layers of slips and glazes. The texture left by the pinching process is accentuated as the glaze pools into the hollows. The colours are subtle, with occasional flashes of vibrant colour, all to be found within nature’s palette. Pieces may be fired several times, until a particular quality of colour and texture is achieved.

Jennifer holds an MA in ceramics from The Royal College of Art.
