Jane makes bright and happy ceramics with a coastal theme

Jane James is an award winning artist who has become one of the best know ceramic designers in the Channel Islands. Working from her studio in St Helier, Jane’s work draws on inspiration from the beautiful coastline of Jersey.

All her ceramics are either hand cut or press moulded from white earthenware clay. The ceramics are then hand finished using a range of implements including various shells. The ceramics are then bisque fired to 1150c for 9 hours before they are individually hand painted with a range of speciality glazes. The ceramics are then fired a second time which produces beautifully bold and bright ceramic pieces with a magical lustre finish that capture the shimmering colours of the sea.

Most of Jane's pieces are mounted on local driftwood collected from the many beautiful beaches around Jersey. These add an extra sculptural quality and interest to create unique pieces of coastal art. Each piece of work is unique and conveys Jane’s colourful and happy style. Her work is identified using a handmade ceramic button signed with the letter 'J'. Jane’s ceramics have qualified for Genuine Jersey status, which guarantees that the craft skill involved can be regarded as genuinely local to Jersey.

Along with her popular range of handmade fish, boats and birds Jane has also undertaken privare commissions to make larger one-off statement pieces for homes and buildings around the Island.
