About

I'm Jamie, a ceramicist working in black stoneware from a studio in London.

My work centres on neriage — layering black and white clay on the wheel so the pattern isn't painted or glazed on, but built into the material itself. Every piece is thrown which means the marbling can never be fully controlled or repeated. Each piece carries its own record of how it was made.

Pottery is where I go to slow down. It sits in the space between motherhood and making — a practice built on rhythm, patience, and paying attention to a material that has its own opinions. I work mainly with simple, natural glazes, favouring forms that are quiet rather than decorative, and that hold up to daily use. I like to experiment too — trying different techniques and clay bodies from time to time, drawn to the wabi-sabi idea that beauty lives in the imperfect, the unrepeatable, the not-quite-symmetrical.

I believe the objects we live with every day are worth making well. In a world of mass production, handmade has become its own kind of luxury — not because of who made it, but because of the time, attention, and care nobody can automate. A cup or a bowl can hold more than food or drink, and a little imperfection is part of what makes something feel made rather than manufactured.
