Jess is a ceramics artist that makes unique, detailed pieces designed to surprise and delight. From their studio in Richmond, VA, they combine handbuilding and wheel-throwing techniques to create one-of-a-kind mugs, trays, bowls, and more. Inspired by authentic expression and a resistance to symmetry, Jess infuses their work with playfulness and spontaneity. By experimenting with altered forms and textures, they create pieces that invite a tactile experience. Each piece balances functionality with curiosity in what is possible through clay.
