Jane James Handmade Ceramics, Jersey

Jane James is an award winning artist who has become one of the best known ceramic designers in the Channel Islands. Working from her production studio overlooking English Harbour in St Helier, Jane’s work draws on inspiration from the beautiful coastline of Jersey.

Jane and her team of artists hand cut, press mould or slip cast the ceramics from white earthenware clay. They are then hand finished using a range of implements including various shells. The ceramics are then bisque fired to 1150c for 12 hours before they are individually hand painted with a range of speciality glazes. The ceramics are then fired a second time which produces beautifully bold and bright ceramic pieces with a magical lustre finish that capture the shimmering colours of the sea.
