JEAN JENKINS

| bridgnorthopenhouse

Jean Jenkins stoneware vessels range from large sculptural pots and planters for the garden to more functional bowls, vases and bottles for the home.

Her work is predominantly hand built. Planters and asymmetric bowls are made using slab techniques whilst taller 1pvessels are constructed from coiled clay – employing ancient methods to produce contemporary ceramics.

Jean has traditionally selected light neutral tones to emulate natural stone, but has more recently been experimenting with a more varied colour palette.

This year she has been working on developing denim inspired pots to add to her collection.

Ceramics. I absolutely love working with clay, it is so creative. I handbuild and throw on the wheel. Sometimes I add texture patterns with tools, sometimes I carve into the clay. I experiment with glaze combinations and apply them in different ways. Therefore each piece is organic and original. My pieces are functional, decorative and ideal for gifts.
Art. I love being able to create works of art which people enjoy. I truly believe that we should want to observe our pictures again and again and be able to see something meaningful in them each time. They should remind us of where we have been, help us reflect on our experiences and inspire us.
I often create a body of work or collection however I am always challenging myself to use a different medium to extend colour or incorporate texture in my work. Often I will play with paint, watercolours, acrylics, oils with the aim of expressing feelings and memories.

I love making slab pottery in simple shapes and designs. Designs are often Art Deco or folk art inspired. I used biscuity textured clay to contrast with the part satin glazed patterns. Birds, horses, arches and trees are often themes for pots. I also make small decorative birds to hang up, brooches and house scene plaques.

Susan’s artistic practice works across glass, ceramics, printmaking, and painting, with screen printing serving as a central method for extending ideas across diverse materials. Drawing inspiration from local history, memory, and the relationship between people and place, their layered processes explore how past and present intertwine. Recent projects include site specific pieces using screen printing with glass enamel, printing onto porcelain, and hand‑painted stained glass, reflecting an ongoing interest in how art can illuminate humanity’s fractured connection with nature while inviting reflection on the world around us.
