Guest Artist: Jo Williams

Our new Guest Artist is Jo Williams creator of Heavenly Vessels.“I have been making ceramics for 35 years and it feels as integral to me as breathing or walking; I make pots every single day.I throw all my pots on the potters wheel and I spend a lot of time getting the surface right before decorating with oxides.

I use repetitive marks which is reminiscent of deep, inky marks on damp paper but also sometimes reminds me of Indian woodblock printing.

I apply all of the marks individually, one at a time.

All my pots are glazed eternally with a soft satin white glaze, contrasting with the outer, unglazed surface.”You can find a selection Jo’s handmade ceramics on display and to purchase at the Williamson.
