Artist Statement
JaMpdx’s work draws inspiration from classical ceramic forms, with a focus on functionality and beauty. Each piece is a collaboration, with the form and decoration enhancing each other and resulting in a harmonious whole. Jenn uses a fine porcelain to create each piece, and Meghan decorates them using the same clay made into a thick slip and cake decorating techniques. The result is a modern take on functional pottery, which is both elegant and imminently useful.
Biography
JaMpdx is the collaboration of Jenn Gauer and Meghan Radick, two friends who have been making ceramics together since 2004.

Jenn has been working in clay since high school. Her many years of experience show in the steady, clean lines of her work. Wheel throwing began as just a hobby, but quickly turned into a passion. Jenn enjoys working with porcelain for its soft, luminous quality, and the work she designs reflects this in gentle curves and smooth surfaces. Each piece she makes is a thoughtful balance of function and beauty.

Meghan draws upon 14 years of cake decorating experience to add unique embellishments to Jenn's thrown pots. She mixes clay to the consistency of frosting, and uses cake decorating tools and techniques, as well as her own artistic style, to give each piece its special quality. Meghan also uses a variety of other techniques, including artistic brushwork on some of the pieces, with wax and stains.
