One-Off Pottery Studio

ABOUT ME

Hi - I'm Jacqui.

Completely in love with clay, what started as a hobby, has become something of an obsession.

Ceramics is more than a craft - it is a conversation between material and maker, past and the present, personal and the universal. 

I’m inspired by the art, chemistry and alchemy of ceramics. The transformation of earth, fire, and water into something fragile and enduring. I love unpredictability, the richness of materials, techniques and surprises.

Handmade ceramic vessels are deeply intimate objects that nourish, sustain and bear witness to life's most personal moments. I explore form, colour, texture and symbolic meaning to express my sentiments about our relationship with the environment, gender and identity. My forms are simple, suggestive, asymmetrical and serpentine, reminiscent of the earth and human body. Vibrant hues, complex layered textured glazes are central to my storytelling, expressing my emotions and inner chaos.

Trained in Australia, Denmark and Italy, I continually work towards deepen my pottery skills. Drawn to experimentation and teaching, I established OoPs – One-off Pottery Studio in 2019. Based in Hampton, I make, teach and provide firing services. I teach wheel-throwing at the Beaumaris Art Group and other venues.
