Jessica Thorn

Jessica Thorn is a ceramic designer-maker creating high-end functional vessels and tools inspired by the heritage and forms of the objects used in the kitchen. Each piece is designed to fit harmoniously in the hand, bring joy and enhance our everyday rituals. 

Her work is made by crafting individual handbuilt or thrown components for each item, and joined with a contrasting coloured slip, leaving a stitch like line and a trace of her construction process. 

Jessica uses porcelain allowing for a simple and clean aesthetic. In contrast to this, Jessica uses strong bold colours in her work. This  is integral as it is essential to highlight the construction process and to help define her bold forms which makes Jessica’s work instantly recognisable.
