ABOUT ME:
I’m Jess Keene. I started making pottery in high school, studied industrial design in college & eventually built a home studio inside my Philadelphia rowhome, transforming my hobby into a full time lifestyle/ obsession.
I’m always trying new ideas, tweaking what works & finding small ways to make each piece better than the last.
STUDIO PROCESS:
I combine modern technology with traditional craft.
With my background in CAD & 3D design, I digially create each piece, 3D print the design, then refine the print & create a plaster mold from it.
From there, I use the age-old process of slip casting to turn my designs into ceramic. It allows me to reproduce complex shapes reliably & repeatedly, so they then line them up neatly in a row, making my brain very happy :)
I’m kind of obsessed with color, so I mix my own glazes from scratch to achieve the bright, shiny, saturated colors I’m looking for.
