Jessica Thorn
Jessica is a ceramic design-maker creating functional vessels, tools and objects. The inspiration for her work comes from her obsession with antique kitchenware and when she is cooking, entertaining and talking about the wonders of food.
Jessica has designed each piece to fit harmoniously in the hand and feel effortless when in use. When the user is embraced with the vessel it’s a moment given to enjoy the act, be it drinking, pouring or juicing. She believes each piece enhances and provides satisfaction from the most simple to the most complex moments of alchemy in the kitchen.
The starting point for every object is a ball of porcelain. She transforms the material through slab building and throwing to create the components for each individual section. These elements are constructed with a coloured slip leaving a trace of her construction and craftsmanship.
Jessica currently creates all of her work from her studio at Centrespace and is a technician and tutor at The Folk House.
