Like so many others, Jen first fell for ceramics in high school. 45 years later, arriving at a ceramics class in Eltham, her hands still knew what to do. Over the last few years Jen has been a regular at the Eltham shared studio, spent 3 weeks in a pottery studio in Japan, and has exhibited her work several times. Focussing on handbuilding, Jen uses coil and slab techniques to create works which are both functional and highly textured. Decorative elements often reflect the rocky soils and contours of the land. Each piece is finished with slips, oxides and glazes using colours drawn from the Australian bush.
