Jan makes one-off, slab-built ceramic pieces on a variety of scales. Her pieces are based largely on animals, particularly how they move, behave and how human societies throughout time have been compelled to bestow significance upon animals by producing images, objects, stories and mythologies.
At present Jan is looking specifically at secondary sources for ideas such as the stylised depiction of animals in heraldry, medieval stained glass windows and tapestries. Often people find humour in her pieces although anthropomorphic sentimentality is something she tries to avoid.
