Jo Connell

"My inspiration comes from the natural world - landscape and seascape, rock strata, plant growth, patterns made by water - and from an enjoyment in the working properties of clay itself. I work experimentally with marbled and stretched coloured clays, creating a surface which is often highly textured. I make sculptural vessels and wall panels, sometimes combining mixed media."

Jo is a member of the Craft Potters Association and the RBSA. She taught ceramics, glass and jewellery for many years in schools and colleges, and in 2002 she wrote a comprehensive book on ceramic decoration techniques, "The Potters Guide to Ceramic Surfaces", as a result of all the knowledge she gained from her students! She exhibits widely in the UK and abroad, making one-off pieces for interiors and gardens, and running occasional courses at West Dean College, Chichester.
