Hello I’m Mardell Jasnowski. I’m a ceramic artist living in Aurora, a small rural community 60 miles west of Lincoln.
As a self taught potter I like to experiment with different techniques and styles. My body of work reflects the many influences I have had over the years. The result is a line of functional pieces and also some decorative ones. My work is primarily wheel thrown with stoneware clay.
Recently I have been working with slabs to create layered vessels. The textures on these vessels are created by using various found objects. They are fired using underglazes and oxides.
For me making pottery is very meditative and a great source of joy. Every day in the studio makes me grateful; for the people ( mainly my husband 🙂 who have helped make my dream a reality and for my incredible good fortune to have discovered something I am passionate about.
