Vicky Jackson

Vicky was born and raised in Falmouth Cornwall and is inspired by all things in nature. She has been creating forever, but after a 2-hour throwing session many years ago, she had an overwhelming feeling of being at home (in the studio setting), from that moment on she has pursued ceramics. Vicky now lives in Torbay and has a studio from which she indulges her deep joy in mud, focusing on her creativity and getting absolutely lost in time in her clay space. 

Vicky loves working in clay and facilitating others to create fun things.
