Jennifer Amon works from her studio on the edge of Dartmoor, making vessels with a timeless simplicity, inspired by the organic world and the ancient potters who remained closely attuned to their natural environment. Vessels are hand built from black, red or white stoneware clays, using the pinch and coil methods to preserve every mark and impression in the soft material. Using only a few simple tools, the process is slow and rhythmic. 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 from The Royal College of Art.
