Jane Sleator Ceramics

City: Codicote Hitchin
Region: South East

Handmade, functional and decorative ceramics.

Majestic trees with all their defects: intricate designs; burrs growing to huge proportions; distortions in the perfect lines of the bark; ancient wood gnarled over time standing proud with its imperfections and contorted branches, straining to find the light. This is what inspires Jane's work. She replicates the shapes, designs and emotions she feels, resulting in very tactile pieces of ceramic art - textured surfaces contrasting with a beautiful satin smooth, bright white glaze.

Each piece is individually decorated, using homemade glazes and unique texturing techniques.

In 2008, Jane graduated from the University of Westminster with a BA (Hons) degree in Ceramics, and has been working from her studio in Hertfordshire ever since.
