Jane Adams January 24, 2022 – Posted in: Artists

Jane Adams is particularly well known for her portrayal of cats, hares and English Bull Terriers.  Jane says…..

“I was brought up in a household where the family cat had its own place at the dinner table.  My love of animals shows in my ceramics and design work as does my irrepressible sense of fun. I also employ anthropomorphism for humour and expression. Sheep make particularly good celebrities for example.

I have been a ceramic artist for over 25 years since leaving my work as a Chartered Surveyor and having my daughter.  I moved to Cornwall in 2006 (some say whilst having a mid life crisis) and originally ran St Agnes Pottery before buying the pottery and gallery in St Just. I’m delighted that my daughter Kara is now my Assistant Director, adding her young person’s eye and superior organisational skills to my business.
