Jayne Wright is a ceramic artist and musician from Yorkshire, now living in Margate Kent. Working in stoneware and porcelain, she explores all forms of ceramics often combining throwing, hand building and mould making. Her ideas are often generated by her interests, passions and obsessions. Her projects are often ambitious, encompass various themes and create a bigger picture. In 2022 she created the Mermaid Army a collection of ceramic sculptures of open water swimmers. Jayne made her popular linocut hand made tiles using her sketches of the swimmers. Tile designs now include where people swim and iconic peculiar landmarks. Her own favourite tile is of Salty Synchro, Thanet’s first and only open water synchronised swimming team of which she is a member. Jayne is the founder of JAW Ceramics CIC. The large-scale community art project Thanet Tiles Of Joy is the company’s current ongoing project. At the heart of her work is a sense of fun, joy and celebration. “I love working in clay and hope people smile when they see and touch my tiles.”
