JP Art and Ceramics is owned by Jade Pattenden in Vancouver, Canada. I am a one person business, and everything from the creating of pottery to the photography, web deisign and sales fulfilment is done by me. It combines many passions of mine and it is something I do outside of working in the film and fashion industry. I have been selling my work for three years and have sold over 70 pieces on Etsy. I value recycling clay to minimize waste, and reusing packaging that is in good condition to ship products. I take pride in making my own glazes, which is a time consuming but rewarding process that a lot of studios don’t do (they typically use commercial glazes, which is totally fine, I just like to have more control over customizing my colour palette). My mission is to create functional and beautiful pieces that add a touch of art and joy to everyday life. I especially love creating lamps.
I have been a painter, drawer, seamstress for over 15 years and therefore you will also find mixed media work in my shop as well.
