Jane Richardson

At the age of twelve I had my first two years of pottery lessons from a special craftsman "Jones the Potter". My passion at the time was ballet. I danced for eleven years (boarding for two). This gave me an insight into the strength and durability of our body. Next was two years at Carmerthorn College of Art where I studied photography, becoming interested in 3D work and life drawing. I later travelled and worked in Canada, Australia and America.

Upon return I pursued a career in beauty therapy and recreational pottery/sculpture became a growing hobby, all the while figures and movement inspiring my work.

After marriage and children I bought my first kiln and my pottery work has not looked back since. I now exhibit and sell work through shops, galleries or commissions. I also run a pottery club at Headcorn School, which is most rewarding.

All my work is hand built or individually thrown on a wheel, which makes each piece unique. I use many clays, but the lager sculptures and planters are in stoneware, making them suitable for the garden in all weathers.
