Description

These vessels explore contrast through surface and form. The dark exteriors are paired with raku-glazed interiors, revealing contrast between crackled texture and refined glaze. Torn and irregular rims speak to the physicality of making, while the surfaces retain the trace of intense thermal shifts.

About the Artist 

Jennifer Morris is a ceramic artist based close to the Maud & Mabel Gallery in Hampstead, London. A pre-foundation course in 2008 introduced her to working with clay. Morris hand-builds objects that can be easily inserted into daily life and provide both joy and function. Using an understated and limited colour palette, which draws attention to the silhouettes of her creations, Morris experiments with different stoneware and earthenware clays. Her creative process is intuitive; visualising an image in her mind and then creating it in three-dimensional form - ‘I sketch in clay, making new ideas come to life’. For Morris, this allows her to find inspiration during the process, letting her works organically develop, retaining energy and movement in her pieces.
