Jessica is a studio potter based in Stoke. She makes thrown functional ware, working on a traditional leach-style kick wheel and gas firing in a reduction atmosphere. Her work is focused on the sensitive interaction between maker and material. Exploring the dialogue between the plastic qualities of clay and its relationship with the user, she considers the evolution of each piece as being intrinsically linked to the rituals of functional wear.

Originally from Devon, she was first introduced to working with clay at Hollyford Pottery whilst still at school. She continued to refined her skills as a potter through her Fine Art degree at Chelsea College of Arts and most recently, Clay College in Stoke-on-Trent.

Her studio is currently located at Potclays in Stoke-on-Trent, in the heart of the potteries.
