Artist Feature: Function Pottery
Owner Jennifer Creighton started working with ceramics on her final year of college and became a potter by profession soon after. Choosing pottery over painting because she thought the former was easier, Creighton nevertheless fell in love with the art form and pursued it as a career: “I couldn’t find peace in anything other than clay.”
Her aesthetic rests on both form and function, with an eye for beauty. Her ceramic wares aren’t only pleasing to the eye, she also makes sure they feel good in your hands: “Something that you want to make part of your daily rituals; that cup of coffee in the morning, the bowl of soup at the end of a long day.
These are activities that we will take part in regardless of whether or not we are using a handcrafted item. But, when we incorporate handmade items into our routines, we open the door to elevating what can be a mundane act to something to enjoy. Something to savor. Something special.”
Creighton’s line of ceramics borders on modern, but with mass appeal. Each item is unique enough as a standalone, simultaneously functional yet beautiful.
