Jack Doherty | Ceramic Review: Masterclass
Working from his studio in Cornwall, Jack Doherty makes porcelain vessel forms that are thrown on the potter’s wheel then carved and shaped when the clay is soft to reflect the fluidity of the material and physicality of making.
About Jack Doherty
Currently based in Cornwall, Jack was born in Co Derry and studied Ceramics at the Ulster College of Art and Design. He had originally wished to become a painter but after a visit to Lucie Rie’s studio he changed his mind – the completeness of her way of life made sense, so he decided to make pots for a living. On graduating, he worked at Kilkenny Design Workshops before establishing his studio, firstly in Co Armagh and then in Herefordshire. From 2008 – 2013, Jack was the first Lead Potter and Creative Director appointed at the refurbished Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall.
