Jane’s visions in clay help children to explore their creativity in class
Her jewel-like ceramics not only catch the eye but they also make viewers compelled to reach out and touch them.
For 20 years Jane Dixon has been working with children and teachers to realise their visions in clay.
Working predominantly in white earthenware, she helps them to create decorative, bespoke hanging panels which are both colourful and tactile and can be given pride of place in the school or local community.
Her own art journey also began in the classroom which is why she is keen to inspire young minds through her ceramics workshops.
“It all started at primary school – I didn’t feel I had a particular strength but I loved art.
“All through school art was a passion. I was always digging up the garden for clay and making clay animals,” says Jane, who lives in Woore in the north east of Shropshire.
