The Maker: Emily Jones

Location: Mission Gallery, Swansea

On until 01 November 2025

Emily Jones is a ceramic artist whose practice merges material exploration with a deep sensitivity to the natural world. Her fascination with glaze fuels an ongoing investigation into surface, transformation, and tactility. Her latest series is a study in controlled unpredictability, combining glaze chemistry with the spontaneous dynamics of the kiln to produce organic, evolving surfaces. Each palm-sized vessel is carefully thrown, trimmed, and offered as a canvas for the glaze to react and transform—inviting a quiet, tactile connection between object, viewer, and the natural environment.
