Jon was born in 1977, growing up in a Midland market town full of characters, he now lives and works in London.
Jon considers his practice as a means of storytelling, drawing from the narrative he finds in everyday drama and British folklore.
Following a BA from Wolverhampton in 2000, Jon established his practice through exhibiting within the UK, ceramic festivals in Mino Japan, Shaanxi China and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee at Buckingham Palace. Awarded with a scholarship from The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, he graduated with an MA in ceramics from The Royal College of Art in 2014.
‘In making, there is a tipping point that I am looking for, the moment where a character becomes relatable. Through this, each work becomes a vessel, recording the narrative and energy of making. I’m interested in how time becomes a hand in my work, the idea of capturing a fragile, transitory state in a plastic material, which may be read in the hereafter.’
