Jackie Apessos 6" Crooked Smile Face Jug DP6040

After a couple of local classes to learn some basics, Jackie Apessos taught herself everything else from there.  Some work is thrown on the wheel and then hand sculpted, while other pieces are completely built by hand.  Almost everything has a face. Because of significant challenges with her vision, she works mostly with smaller pieces, as she needs to hold them in her hand under intense light, and work the clay using shadows as her guide.  Jackie derives so much joy when working with clay.  Oh, and she loves to collect and make creepy faces.

This jug’s off-center features and crooked grin create a quirky, animated expression. Small protruding eyes and uneven teeth add to the personality of the piece, while the speckled brown glaze gives the jug a rustic, aged appearance. The form retains a strong utilitarian presence with a sturdy handle and rounded body, blending traditional jug construction with expressive sculptural detail. This one is 6" tall about 5.25" wide and has a 3.5" base.
