Jan Lee
I have loved clay since finding it in a creek near my home as a child and rolling it into sticky balls. Over the years I have worked with high fire stoneware, low fire earthenware and mid-range stoneware, using both wheel thrown and hand built forms. I am currently working with experimental surfaces developed with the techniques of raku with resist slips (naked raku), saggar firing, and pit firing. These techniques utilize the unglazed surface with its markings made by the smoke and fire that occur during the firing process.
Jan Lee’s work has been accepted into national ceramic juried competitions, juried into the prestigious Southern Highlands Craft Guild, and have been accepted into publication in an upcoming book on alternative firing processes.
