Jo Taylor

Inspiration - highly decorative architectural features

Technique - typically hand built coloured stoneware, unglazed, once fired to 1260c

A range of clays are used from porcelain to rough, grogged bodies, that are sometimes coloured using body stains or with slip applied to the surface. Finished works can be free standing, wall hung or presented as group assembly (Vessel Gallery, 2025).

Attraction - the natural texture of clay, the marks made by her hands & tools, the deep shadows and contrast created, with the juxtaposition of traditional & contemporary elements creating a strong graphic element

Based - Corsham, Wiltshire, UK

Training - MA Ceramics, Bath Spa University 2012

In her own words - ‘I enjoy the grand gesture present in large scale relief, the drama of deep shadow, the dialogue between space, structure & ornament. The changing light conditions of bright sunlight, a dull day, dusk or artificial light can affect the contrast and way the structure is perceived’
