Jo Hartley

I am a contemporary ceramic artist/sculptor from the Trinity Broads area of Norfolk. I’m relatively new to sculpture but attended pottery classes at Wensum Lodge for a few years and now work out of Kenninghall Community Studio and the Mud Hub CIC Community Pottery in Norwich. As a response to my brother having to undergo spinal surgery, my work explores themes of  decay, disintegration, healing and regrowth, specifically in nature. I rarely use tools when working and allow the clay to inform me as to the abstracted direction of the work.
