About this Artist

Jennifer Falter

"I strive to make pots that others will enjoy using in their daily lives."

Jennifer Falter's craft as a potter allows her to both create and embellish. She enjoys making functional, yet decorative porcelain pots, encased in a tactile, sgraffito or carved surface. Her love of pattern making, line, and mark making appear in both her narrative, light-hearted pieces and in the quiet nature-inspired wares. Her pieces invite the viewer to investigate through touch, sight, and use.

Each piece of Jennifer's work is thrown from porcelain on the potter's wheel. This pure white canvas of the clay provides a striking contrast to the layers of black slip that she brushes on to the surface of the pot. After all layers are applied, Jennifer carves the entire exterior with a small loop tool to expose the clay and bring her imagery to life. Afterward, each piece is bisqued, clear glazed and fired. All of her work is both dishwasher and microwave safe.

Jennifer graduated from Missouri State University in 1996 with a BFA in ceramics. She has worked diligently in clay since graduation and has gone on to share this passion with her community.

Great present for my tree-loving brother
The mug is a present for my brother. He won't get it until May. So it hasn't been used yet. However, his hobby is trees, and he especially likes ginko trees, so he should like the cup.I like the black and white rendition.

Beautiful item
Beautiful item and workmanship, I love the way it goes with the other pieces I selected, and would love to see in addition either some plain (or simpler) glazed black and/or beige serving pieces (plates, etc., maybe with just one tiny bit of pattern, etc.) which would go with these amazing mix & match sgraffito pieces from Jennifer Falter that would work together.

Photos don't do it justice.
The phrase, "Pictures don't do it justice," fits here. The glossiness of the black doesn't show in the online photos. The leaves are very much in motion ??? blown by the wind. If you're cautious of the phrase, "Size and design may vary slightly," don't worry here. Each piece is unique. But in all the pieces (I've bought several) the leaves are pleasingly spaced and arranged. Ms. Falter's pieces co-ordinate well with glossy, solid black tableware which is readily available and affordable.

Shipping Date

It takes time to make great artwork. Most of the pieces we offer are created one at a time by the artist, and shipped directly to you from the artist's studio.
