Jane Freidson Ceramics
Thanks for visiting. I am a NYC potter working in porcelain and stoneware, usually fired to Cone 6 in oxidation. I work on the wheel, and I handbuild because I love making boxes. Most of my work is functional and I love that my work lives in your home and enhances your life. My pottery should be touched, used and become familiar. When my work lives with you, it is at home.
I have an annual sale of recent work, generally the last weekend before Christmas. If you would like to be added to my mailing list, please SUBSCRIBE and I will send you an announcement of the date, time and location of the sale.
Occasionally, I diverge from functionality into the world of ceramic art.
In 2015, the centennial year of my mother's birth, I began a conceptual project to honor her. I made 100 small busts resembling my mother and then I placed them in public restrooms around the world, documenting the project on Instagram. You can learn about my mother, and my "Ladies' Room Project" here and on Instagram if you like.
In 2017, I made a series of fish dedicated to my father, Eliot Freidson, who loved fishing and who taught me to share that pleasure. The "Father Project" fish swim close to home.
In 2020, in the time of Covid-19 quarantine, I made scores of masks (not ceramic!) for friends and family and charity, and I am working on a series (ceramic) of made-at-home pieces.
