About

Jenni’s work is often sparked by elements of nature. Starting points may be the sudden bloom of fungi in the autumn drizzle or a sheep’s jaw found by her dog on the Quantocks. Her Sea Mist series was a response to cliff walks in Somerset, watching the fleck and foam of breaking waves suspended against the sky. For some time, Jenni used purely white glazes on a black body in my Ghost Sister series. She then introduced a very little colour, barely a whisper. Gradually her glazing has become more expressive, gestural and unfettered, embracing drips of glaze with stains and oxides.
