Jennifer Allen makes porcelain tableware intended to commemorate special meals and celebrate the physical and psychological aspects of dining. Her design aesthetic is derived from the Alaskan wilderness, textiles, sewing, and decorative floral imagery.
In addition, Momoyama period ceramics, Koryo Dynasty celadons, British Medieval pottery, post-war textiles, Edo period kimonos, and Arts and Crafts designs especially influence her work.
Allen?s prior experience as a seamstress carries through in her construction of ceramic forms. She uses folds, seams, darts, pleats, tufts and ruffles as construction methods adapted for clay.
