Jane Booth Ceramics
Jane Booth makes colourful earthenware tableware. Each piece is hand thrown and individually decorated. Her pottery designs are inspired by traditional ceramics and textiles, but also have a contemporary feel.
Jane says
I think the small pleasures of life should be treasured. For me one
aspect of this involves using everyday items that are made in
mouthwatering colours and make me smile – such as my pink ‘bejewelled’
Russian doll keyring and my purple leather satchel. For this reason I
love to make pots suitable for everyday use that are practical, pretty
and unique.
All my pottery is thrown on a wheel and then decorated with coloured
slips, a foodsafe glaze and ceramic transfers. I use mostly terracotta
clay, as I like the warmth and richness of the colour and the effect
that is created when the clay breaks through the softly coloured slips.
I am inspired by the colours and patterns of some of my favourite
things – ranging from vintage fabric, china and paintings (particularly
from the eighteenth century) to ice cream and macaroons!
