Scott Jennings

Ceramic artist Scott Jennings studied ceramics at California State University Fullerton, earning a B.F.A. in ceramics in 1996. He has since been involved in the ceramics industry as a technician and has established a productive studio. Currently, Jennings also works as a ceramics instructor at Mt. San Antonio College and at the Irvine Fine Arts Center.

Scott Jennings uses thin slabs of porcelain and paper patterns to create his unique hand-built tableware. From teapots to the humble cup, Scott captures the plasticity of the material in each piece. The rough forms are pinched, stretched, patterned and assembled completely by hand. He leaves clues as to how each piece was constructed in the form of exposed seams or thumbprints. Transparent, brightly colored glazes are used to finish each piece because they accentuate the details in the form and add a vibrant quality to each piece.
