Jessica’s pottery met an unusual friend in a hedgehog one day; an idea was born that kept growing. The story teller in her started creating adventures for her little hedgehog friends to go on. Driven by her love for detail and creating things by hand she developed a series of stories she paints on her wheel thrown work.
A native Oregonian, Jessica’s fascination with details came from nature. Her passion for art motivated her to pursue a double major in studio art and graphic design. Jessica can be found either in the lab creating, or teaching pottery and calligraphy to children and adults.

Jessica Hedgehog friends are thrown using a porcelaneous stoneware clay. Pieces are bisque fired then free hand painted with hedgehogs before receiving a clear glaze. The pieces are fired once more to cone 6 and then her little friends are ready for play, or the dishwasher.
