    Jo Taylor

    Jo Taylor's work is inspired by ornament in architecture, most recently aspects of the Rococo period. Freedom of creativity and making each work unique is central to Jo's practice; whilst the works reference the historic the outcomes are contemporary.
    ​Techniques are combined (hand building, extrusion, sprigging, potter’s wheel) to create each work, most recently in the form of sculptural vessels.
    Work is fired once, unglazed, in order for the clay to communicate the marks, textures and surface without hindrance. A range of clays are used from porcelain to rough, grogged bodies; clay often has colour mixed through using body stains or sometimes has slip applied. Finished works can be free standing, wall hung or group assembly.
