One-of-a-Kind Art for a Home That Inspires.
Jennifer Hatch creates functional ceramic pieces that bring light, warmth, and beauty into everyday life. Raised in rural West Tennessee near Natchez Trace State Park, Jennifer’s love for nature is deeply rooted—and it shows in the flowing, organic patterns she carves into clay: leaves, vines, petals, flames. Her work is not only about what you see, but how it feels to live with it.
Jennifer sees clay as the ideal medium to blend her many creative passions—drawing, painting, sculpture, and design—all while producing work that’s both beautiful and useful. Her signature pieces include intricately carved lanterns, berry bowls, platters, and tiles—each created with precision and a strong connection to light and shadow. When lit from within, her vessels come alive, casting dancing shadows and inviting quiet reflection.
Jennifer holds a B.A. in Art with an emphasis in Ceramics from Union University. Her early training included workshops at institutions like Watkins College of Art and the Appalachian Center for Crafts. She later interned at Pewabic Pottery in Detroit and completed a competitive residency at the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio (2022–2024), where she exhibited widely and began building her professional practice.
Inspired by nature, flame motifs, and the stylized elegance of Art Nouveau, Jennifer’s creative process is meticulous and meditative. Each piece undergoes a 12-step transformation—from throwing or hand-building to hand-carving, sanding, tracing, and glazing—all combined to create her signature finish. She works in batches but carves every item individually, making no two exactly alike.
Jennifer’s work has been featured in numerous juried exhibitions, solo shows, and arts festivals across the Midwest and Southeast. Her ceramics are part of the permanent Resident Artist Collection at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art and are available through select regional venues and pop-ups, including The Lexington Art Collective and Art in the Village.
She also accepts commissions, teaches adult pottery workshops, and explores mixed media—most recently combining her handmade ceramics with small-batch candles and custom tilework.
“I love experimenting. Every piece begins with intention but always leaves space for surprise.”
