Jennie Charles

I studied at Southampton Art
College specialising in sculpture. After the four year
course I found myself drawn to working with clay.
Since 1989 I have been working from my own studio. My work has sold
in Craft Council selected galleries and I exhibited widely in group and
solo exhibitions in UK, France and Germany.

In 2013 I fulfilled a long held ambition to live in Scotland. Home of both my birth and my family. So, here I am now with a new studio in Blair Atholl. I’m restricting myself
to just a few exhibitions per year. Also, I have decided just to show my work in a limited number of galleries. This suits my new slower pace of making.

I tend to make one off pieces or small batches of 5 or 7. Research around ideas behind my work gives me great pleasure and most of my working life is centred round observing and learning. My work is fairly eclectic as I enjoy switching from different ways and styles of working
depending what my mind has fixed on. I like my work to be visually appealing but also very tactile.

My prices start at £30 and go up to £120 for larger moon pots.

My desire is that my work will enrich the life of whoever buys it and give them joy. When you buy my work I always hope that you buy with your heart.
