Jane Hamlyn

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Jane Hamlyn makes pots to celebrate the rituals of daily life : serving and offering, giving, receiving and sharing. "I believe that functional pots have a unique role to play in the arena of the Applied Arts because they provoke audience participation. My pots are made to be touched and when holding a pot and considering how to use it the user continues its creative life and fulfils its real function."
