Jane first worked in porcelain whilst living in Sweden in the late 70's. Its soft texture, whilst being worked, lends itself to the exploration of space, an old dance theme, and the way porcelain moves through and surrounds it.

The use of body stains, to weave colour into the porcelain, is a recent development in Jane's work, producing intriguing effects. Living by the sea, with all its creations, also provides inspiration and stimulation for the individual jewellery pieces, each one of which is signed either with her initials or two parallel lines. Inspiration also comes from space, the planets, and the contrast of an almost translucent moon against a black, velvety sky.

Jane is also intrigued by an old Chinese glaze 'temmoku' or 'tenmuko'.  Depending on the consistency used, a range of wonderful browns, some with an olive green hue, or yellow, emerge. Brown with black also can be created.

An activist at heart, the technical side of Jane's work has been developed through experimentation, attending courses, workshops and lectures, and through her own research and learning from fellow ceramic artists. She has mastered the art of nurturing the porcelain through its fragile drying out process, and in fettering, to ensure an even, smooth finish to her pieces.
