The featured artist at the Gallery of
BC Ceramics for Oct. 15 to Nov. 14 is
Jessie Tse:

‘The work involved in creating my ceramic
art draws heavily on my work as a graphic
designer. When I came across pottery in
1995, it inspired me to apply my graphic arts
skills and creative talent to this 3-dimension

art form.

Basic wheel throwing did not satisfy my
desire. added some elements into my pottery
pieces, and hand carving is one of them. For
the last couple of years, I have applied cut-out
patterns on my pottery in the hope that these
elements would make the ceramic art even
more lively and interesting.

My work does not focus on one theme.
I keep on trying different kind of clays,
technique and glaze media in order to achieve 4

perfect effects.
