Sharing her passion for being creative lead her into teaching within further education, before relocating to Pembrokeshire in 2018.
With the beautiful Pembrokeshire landscape as her new found inspiration, Open Skies Studio was established as a base to not only create from, but to welcome others who are looking to explore the therapeutic nature of working in clay.
Jemma's sculptural pieces are all individually hand made and explore aspects of the natural world and the creatures within it. Her playful style and love of surface pattern and modelled details can be seen within the highly detailed work she produces. Pieces are made from a range of clays all sourced in the UK and finished using a number of techniques which emphasis the patterns, colours and textures within the natural world.
