About Jenni Oh Crafts

Jenni Oh Crafts was borne out of a desire to provide an alternative to mass-produced functional ceramic wares. With a keen interest in sustaining a handicraft style within a modern context, the aim is to bring focus back to the enriching nature of handmade items. Foremost, the principle behind my work is contemporary simplicity grounded in a belief that even our everyday objects should enhance the spaces they inhabit. My aesthetic falls somewhere between European and Eastern with wide-ranging influences from Japanese, Korean and Chinese ancient ceramics to Scandinavian and mid-century design, Bauhaus and even kawaii culture. The ceramics, mostly utilitarian in nature are also decorative and seek to sing in the spaces they occupy. As for me, I was born in the Philippines, grew up in Australia, lived in London and now currently reside in Rome, Italy. My background began in Media, working in television for over a decade before discovering and deciding to pursue my interest in ceramics and become a maker. My pottery journey began in 2012 and continues to this day. All pieces are lovingly handmade in a small artisan studio in Rome, Italy.Read their story
