I am Hilary Jenkinson the potter and have been making hand thrown ceramics since 1991.
The Moss Range was my first range and soon intorduced the Cornflower Range. My shapes are based on the pewter beer tankards. I have always preferred straight lines rather than the more traditional bellied pots. Although clay is a very fluid material to work with I like to give it the feeling of strength with its form. I chose the simple motif of a celtic spiral to decorate the pots which is applied with a sponge.
In 2005 I relocated my workshop to Castlecomer Co. Kilkenny from Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo. I began producing my new Silk Range which was greatly inspired by travels to the southern hemisphere. This range is more simplistic in its design which fits in with the more modern lifestyle. Although I have my three main ranges I am continually exploring new ideas with my gallery work and encourage customers to ask for the unusual.
For anyone who would be interested in pottery classes either call me or email me for more details.
