Guest potter: Jessica Dubin


(Teapot by Jessica Dubin)
Yet another star from my college days. Jessica was a year behind me, and truly nice and hard working. If I remember correctly, ceramics was the most popular class topic at Bennington College, with nearly the whole student body taking at least one class. So, it may be surprising sometimes which of us stuck with it. I hadn't thought about Jessica since my student days, and a year or two ago she won a competition and was included in a book ('500 Cups') and I said 'hey, I knew her!'.
Her work is pretty exciting, classically thrown pieces she alters here and there. Rich glazing. No pigs.
