Jo Davies is a ceramic artist specialising in wheel-thrown porcelain. Her practice includes hand-making her fine porcelain design range of vases, vessels, lighting and unique objects as well as working with brands like Union Coffee and Mulberry as a named-designer alongside running a Teaching Studio specialising in wheel-throwing.
Creating a balance of simplicity and surprise is essential to Jo Davies’ ceramics - forming connections between object and audience by making shapes that appear soft and inviting to touch. Every piece is hand made by Jo on the potter’s wheel and is a reflection of her design intentions as well as the shape of her hands and those that will use it. In recent years, her signature black and white glazes have been developed to include shades of red, gold-leaf and cobalt blue surface design elements but shape and form continue to be the most important factors in her work.
You can buy handmade ceramics online, arrange a studio visit or browse in person to buy one of Jo's unique pieces, commission a one-of-a-kind artwork or take a wheel-throwing pottery class at the Jo Davies Ceramics studio.
