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.
