About

Why this artist matters now

Jacqueline Poncelet is a British ceramic artist known for hand-built stoneware vessels that prioritize tactile form and material surface over functional utility. Working since the 1970s, she creates abstract sculptural objects that respond to the weight, plasticity, and color variations inherent in clay itself. Her practice belongs to the studio pottery tradition that emerged in postwar Britain, where craft and sculpture began to occupy shared conceptual ground.
