GUEST CRAFT ARTIST 2012
JENNY STOKES
Ceramic artist, Jenny Stokes, has been a practising ceramicist for a few decades after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts Ceramic Design. In awe of the creativity and skills of embroiders and crafters, in the mid 1990s she introduced them to a range of ceramic embellishments and buttons. She creates stunning contemporary ceramic pieces employing traditional ceramic techniques. Every piece is unique and handcrafted. Diversity of her creations means that a Jenny Stoke piece could be anything from a beautiful ceramic button, to a whimsical brooch, to a striking pendant through to functional home and garden wares. Attention to detail and quality of finish is indulged on every surface and from every angle.
"What I enjoy most about making my products is seeing my ideas take form and become real. I draw my inspiration from everywhere. An important part of my work process is living with and contemplating the pieces until I am happy with them."
Jenny’s influences are inspired by life, from organic and botanical, to industrial, to Asian and Middle Eastern art and modern 20th century art and decor.
