Jannalyn Bailey | Episode 883

Curious Clay, founded by Jannalyn Bailey, was born out of an intense love of the handmade form and the desire to make attainable art objects. As a former painter, the presence of the artist’s hand in Jannalyn’s works is very important to her. Both the clay form and the glaze application retains the gesture from Jannalyn’s hand.  Being somewhat self-taught, Jannalyn’s work is primarily slab-built with some element of hand forming/sculpting.  Jannalyn hopes her works can live in new homes, and be a part of the slower moments in the day, whether it’s your morning cup of coffee or afternoon meditation.  Jannalyn finds great joy in creating one of a kind pottery, and her hope is that that joy comes through.
