Marches Makers Festival Artist 2021
Jane Bisby
After working as a biologist and then a primary school teacher, I came to art in my fifties. I did various art courses in Bristol and found that ceramics was what I enjoyed most.
Partly it was the process that attracted me. I experimented with wood-fired kilns, and bonfire firing, but I now make life easy for myself with an electric kiln. I enjoy decorating pots with wildflowers and insects I find in the Welsh hills where I live.
I am fascinated by repeating patterns, - especially zigzags; this is why the dandelion leaf is so appealing to me.
