29 - JENNIFER ALFORD

Jennifer Alford is an award-winning artist trained in production pottery. She lives and works in a former mill in the Angus countryside.
Jennifer grew up in Dublin and studied violin and music at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and University College Dublin. Recognising the value of a strong formal background as a bedrock for improvisation, she trained in the tradition of production pottery at the Craft Council of Ireland’s prestigious Ceramics Skills and Design Course in Thomastown, Ireland.

 

At the potter’s wheel, she creates contemporary ceramics in porcelain and stoneware. Her work explores surface and form, evoking the landscape through elemental glaze tones and instinctive mark-making.
 

She is a visiting tutor at Edinburgh Ceramics workshop.
