I create contemporary ceramic basins, homeware and gifts from my studio in West Berkshire, where I live with my husband and three kids.
I love working with clay, and create pieces both on the pottery wheel and also by hand using slab rolling and handcrafted techniques. I work with stoneware clay and everything is fired in my two kilns. Each piece is unique and has its own hand crafted character. I enjoy working with texture and I’m constantly on a creative journey, learning and growing as an artist. I take inspiration from earthy colour tones, with the occasional pop of bright colour here and there. I am inspired by the nature around me and enjoy watching the seasons change outside my studio door here in beautiful Berkshire.
I discovered ceramics as an outlet for dealing with the cancer diagnosis of my daughter in 2017. Working with clay helped me to focus on something earthy and was extremely therapeutic, giving me a sense of grounding during a very tough time. It has become a huge part of my life now and I can’t imagine a day when I don’t pick up clay and create…
I hope you find something you love in the online shop, or if you are local to Berkshire then pop into the studio to say Hello and browse my range of basins, homeware & gifts. Please message me first to arrange a convenient time. I am here most days.
Thank you, Jenny Hopps

Jenny’s creations serve as a reminder of the beauty found in simplicity, prompting a pause to appreciate the love infused into these pottery pieces. I greatly admire her work and have a collection of them; a subtle harmony that goes beyond mere objects.

"5 out of 5 stars..."
5 out of 5 stars. Really nice ceramic moon. I very much like the colour as well. I got it as a present and she loved it. I ordered the medium size, and she said it's a great size for her, as she is using it to put the jewellery she wore on the day. I messaged Jenny before ordering and she answered really quick.

"I can't recommend this business enough..."
I ordered the blue speckled paint palette and it is seriously stunning! It's handmade and you can tell they put so much love into it. I gifted it to a friend who said “it’s too beautiful to use I want to frame it, it’s like a piece of art.” Definitely the perfect gift for any artsy friend. I can't recommend this business enough – they're top-notch!

"Perfect gift for my mum..."
I first came across jenny's work at a christmas market held at Wasing park. I had just moved into my new home so it was perfect to get something handmade. My first purchase was a spoon rest in the most perfect colours for my kitchen (result!) My recent purchase was a beautiful plant pot with the words (Plant papa) which was a perfect gift for my mum for mothers day as my papa loved gardening.
