Jillian Riley Designs

Jillian’s collections are a personal journey from designer to ceramicist and her inspirations along the way. Her pen & ink illustrations of ravens, magpies or toadstools capture a moment in nature and time.  These images marry her love of drawing with the more unpredictable use of copper oxide. The illustration is as important as the quality of the vessel, both working in harmony.
Sculptural vessels complement these pieces with corvids still at the heart of her creations.

Her Icelandic inspired pieces are a journey into a more dramatic approach to glazing and making, complementing it’s wild winter landscape.
