Meet your Teacher
Jess Lee I am a ceramicist based in Richmond, VA, and have been working in clay since spring of 2017. I make tableware, decorative vessels, one-off pieces, and occasional commission work. While attending graduate school for social work in my home state, Maryland, I was looking for a creative outlet to encourage a work/life balance. Photography has always been my go-to art practice, but I was craving to have my hands in raw materials and make pieces that others can hold. In the farmlands near my family’s suburban house there is an annual art studio tour which invites the public to visit local artists. Many have turned their external garages, barns, and even she-sheds into art studios. While on the tour, my family and I drove up one long driveway, passed the mini horses and goats, and stepped into a pottery studio. No more than a couple months after the tour, I called and asked about classes. At first I went to the studio on a weekly basis, but it didn’t take long before I sought out open studio time and spent longer hours practicing my technique. I became an intern for a local clay studio, which allows me to see my pieces through the entire process. From mixing glazes, to loading and unloading the kilns, my pieces are personally cared for. When people view my work, I hope they see clearly the passion and determination I have to make high-quality ceramics for others to enjoy. If you’re interested in obtaining my work you can follow me on Instagram where I’ll be making announcements of upcoming markets in the Richmond area, or updates of my online shop. |
