Ceramic artist Jo Walker combines clean and simple forms with intricate geometric patterns, resulting in pottery that is visually engaging and thoughtfully crafted. Based in Dunfermline, Jo’s Piloti Series is strongly influenced by forms found in modernist architecture, particularly its simplicity and pared-back nature.
This influence also serves as a foundation for her decorative approach, where the surface of each piece becomes a canvas for her precision mark-making. Jo’s signature use of sgraffito creates dynamic compositions which contrast with her selective use of coloured glaze.
Jo originally studied jewellery design at Edinburgh College of Art but discovered clay about fifteen years ago and fell in love with the possibilities it offered. She regularly exhibits throughout the UK and has a number of stockists across the country. Jo’s work can currently be seen at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (Wakefield).
