Jo Hearn

Jo Hearn is based in Staffordshire. “Following a Fine Art (Painting) Degree in London, I have worked as a painter using abstract /semi abstract subject matter. After obtaining my own kiln, I have been able to explore the medium of clay and glaze with great freedom. My wall plaques are based on images taken from my paintings and from photographs of landscapes. Using stoneware clay each piece is slab built, with relief, incised and bisque fired. I use a variety of underglazes, opaque and semi-transparent glazes and lustres, with 2-4 firings per wall plaque. The plaques are mounted on a sandblast glass backplate or on a white board.  Each piece is unique.”
