Jackie Sedlock Pottery

Jackie Sedlock Pottery dinnerware designed and hand made in Vermont I identify with those who work closely with the earth for their survival and the survival of their communities.

Working in mid-range stoneware fired in oxidation, my work reflects my experiences in nature and an interest in agrarian cultures. I’m interested in how this lifestyle relates to our connections with the land and with one another. I see ritual and devotion in this kind of work . Ultimately, I’m interested in how these practices connect is with each other and the land, therefore instilling us with

a quiet but powerful knowing. My hope is that in making functional pieces for everyday use, I can offer the user a way to focus on the moment and make the connection between their meals’ origins and their place in the greater circle that is all of us. From the time a person chooses a cup or bowl from the shop and then the cupboard, they are making a choice to be reminded to stay mindful on daily basis – a small ritual. I believe these daily rituals, great or small, can bring us to a greater consciousness – a collective consciousness that might enable us to live a little better every day

A great man has gone form the world. Wendell Berry’s writing on agrarian life and meaning of place have changed my life. His novel Jayber Crow, and all the books in the Port William Membership are among my favorite books. Thank you, Mr Berry, for teaching us the importance of presence, settling in, and caretaking place.

I’m just starting to look at these pots.
This was full of experiments; 98% of what I put in was porcelain. I was trying to focus on porcelain and Ash glaze and how my marks would show up through the pooling of the ash glaze, the heat work of the kiln, including an increase in fly ash in a kiln that doesn’t really create a lot of fly ash. We built a side stoke into the door of this firing to see if we could increase fly ash between the stoke hole and the flu. I’m not sure it had the direct effect we thought it might. However, this firing had more fly ash in it overall than any before. there were a couple other differences in the approach, one being that the main dampers in the chimney were open for much longer after body reduction. We feel that that’s likely the reason for more ash overall.

At any rate, I’ve got these pots that I did some experimental marking on, and I’m really intrigued with this direction. I’m super excited to move forward with these more intentional marks.
In I’ll have more of the pony clay and slip with these kinds of marks. I’m more excited than ever to move forward. Thanks so much to the beautiful crew who was here last week allowing each other the safe space to experiment and work through our process with Joy.

The ghost of the thing.

How did that time go by? Where is it?

What was it?
it was.. I don’t know... It was a week of making and sharing and firing and eating and sleeping and dunking and laughing and crying. And in the end, gorgeous pots the likes of which won’t be made again by anyone in the span of time.

Well done, gang.

I miss you already.
