Hi, I’m Jonquil
I live in the beautiful Somerset village of Pensford with my partner, 2 kids and chickens. I hand craft my work in my log cabin studio at the bottom of the veg patch.
There is something special about holding a handmade ceramic pot and feeling the work that has gone into its creation. I love the process of creating something beautiful from mud, and I hope you can feel the love and attention that I put into each piece when you hold it. I enjoy making small sculptures that convey emotion despite often having no clear facial features.
I teach a throwing class at Marsh Farm Pottery in Trowbridge as well as running throwing courses for 2 people in my studio. I often have my 2 small children doing their own kind of ceramic work, whether invited or not! They also attend the ‘Clay Club’ that I run at the local primary school.
I hope you enjoy my work and that you join me one day for a class so I can pass on my love of clay.
