Jane Gibson
Jane Gibson is a ceramicist based in Bradford on Avon, creating both functional and decorative work in stoneware.
Everything starts from the functional and then moves beyond so that there is still a gesture back to the useful and practical, but only a gesture. Nearly all the work begins with a thrown cylinder, which is then distorted, changed and added to. It becomes a surface for painting. Jane loves the process of shape-making, but fears the addition of colour, although the pots are made for it. Layers of bright-coloured glazes are built up in abstract patterns, with references to her travels and fascination with the landscape.
Jane’s work is designed to be used and enjoyed in everyday life, combining practicality with a quiet, thoughtful aesthetic. As part of the local maker community, she brings a strong commitment to craftsmanship and the value of handmade objects.
