Jo Norton - Thrown by Jo
Jo Norton is a ceramic artist living and working on Bundjalong Country in Northern Rivers, New South Wales. Her practice spans a diverse range of scales, from delicate porcelain vessels to large wood fired stoneware pieces and site-specific installations. Jo’s work has been exhibited here in Australia and is held in private collections here and overseas .
Her work continues to be driven by a deep understanding of form, proportion, texture and surface and since assisting in the construction of an Anagama kiln at Middle Pocket Pottery , her wood firing passion has become an important way to creates pieces that are rich in surface detail and depth. Inspired by the spherical form, she uses it to catch ash and flame, creating dynamic surface patterns.
