Jacqueline Leighton Boyce
Maker's Story
With a BA and MA in Ceramic Design from Central St Martins, Jacqueline Leighton Boyce creates handmade earthenware ceramics, which she decorates with motifs inspired by nature such as birds and flowers. Based in Devon, she draws her inspiration from the surrounding landscape and her pieces are imbued with an appealing rawness. There is a folkloric element to her recent work for The New Craftsmen, which features doves, swifts, dandelions and stags.
Maker's Quote
“My pieces are uncomplicated and display a simple and sometimes romantic narrative taken from regularly walking around Exmoor.”
The Process
Each of Jacqueline’s ceramics are formed out of red terracotta clay using coil-building. They are decorated with layers of slip and underglaze, which she then draws motifs directly onto using sgraffito and paint.
