Jane Peiser is known for multicolored porcelainhand build forms including small sculptures. She used this process to create intricate patterns and subtle color gradations.
This process results in unique pieces of visually complex integral patterns. Often pattern gives way to representational scenes filled with flowers and animals. She uses relief pieces of either solid colored clay or patterns to add another dimension to her work. Most of her work is salt glazed.
