About this Artist

Jennifer Falter

"I strive to make pots that others will enjoy using in their daily lives."

Jennifer Falter's craft as a potter allows her to both create and embellish. She enjoys making functional, yet decorative porcelain pots, encased in a tactile, sgraffito or carved surface. Her love of pattern making, line, and mark making appear in both her narrative, light-hearted pieces and in the quiet nature-inspired wares. Her pieces invite the viewer to investigate through touch, sight, and use.

Each piece of Jennifer's work is thrown from porcelain on the potter's wheel. This pure white canvas of the clay provides a striking contrast to the layers of black slip that she brushes on to the surface of the pot. After all layers are applied, Jennifer carves the entire exterior with a small loop tool to expose the clay and bring her imagery to life. Afterward, each piece is bisqued, clear glazed and fired. All of her work is both dishwasher and microwave safe.

Jennifer graduated from Missouri State University in 1996 with a BFA in ceramics. She has worked diligently in clay since graduation and has gone on to share this passion with her community.

The Owls Have It!
Purchased this vase for Mother-in-law, who is a birder and crafts artist. Absolutely stunning work. Beautiful shape and clever design all the way around this piece.

Quirky and fun and beautiful.
The phrase, "Pictures don't do it justice," fits here. The glossiness of the black doesn't show in the online photos. These are quirky and fun and beautiful. If you're cautious of the phrase, "Size and design may vary slightly," don't worry here. Each piece is unique. Each owl has its own personality. But in all the pieces (I've bought several) the design is pleasingly spaced and arranged. My hand fits easily into the top of this vase, so you could also use this on a table (it's not too high) for wrapped, hard candy, nuts, or whatever. Ms. Falter's pieces co-ordinate well with glossy, solid black tableware which is readily available and affordable.
