Jane Jermyn
Jane Jermyn describes her work as, “a celebration of nature through the transformation of clay by fire.” Originally from Cork, Jane got her start in ceramics later in life after dedicating herself to raising a family of four. Her late start in the field was no hindrance to her success, as she won quick acclaim for her innovative techniques and geologically inspired works. |

Jermyn graduated with honors from the University of Wales in 2001, and her work was on of 24 graduates selected for “Setting Out 2002”, the annual exhibition of UK based ceramic graduates. She was then awarded CPA Travel Bursary at the exhibition and also selected to participate in “Earth & Fire” Ceramics Fair at Rufford, Nottingham, UK. Since then, Jane’s work has been commissioned and exhibited around the world and can be found in the collections of International Ceramic Studios, Kecskemet, Hungary; Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey; Collection of Contemporary Ceramics, Varazdin City Museum, Croatia; Collection of Museo del Fang, Marratxi, Mallorca; Tohisoo Manor House, Kohila, Estonia; Municipal Collection of Camaguey City, Cuba; Ceramic Museum, Boleslawiec, Poland and International Museum of Ceramics, Fuping, China |

Jane now resides in Lismore, a Heritage Town in the county of Westmore, Ireland. In Lismore, She sculpts her masterpieces in an unassuming location- a former coal dispatcher’s office-turned studio she calls, “Tin Shack Ceramics.” From her studio, Jane makes her “Paperclay Sculptural Forms” with an interesting technique that involves balloons and bubblewrap. |

According to one critic, "Jermyn makes beautifully judged organic forms......there is something elemental and fundamental about her pieces... She is exceptionally attentive to nuances of tone, colour and texture as well as shape and seems to have an unerring instinct for sculptural form." |
