Jo Millar

Based in Cheltenham, Jo graduated from Bath Spa University in 1995 and in 1996 gained her PGCE from Oxford University. Alongside her art she has carved a very successful teaching career and currently leads the Art department in a prestigious independent school.

 Hand-building with white or black stoneware clays, her ceramics are almost always formed in response to nature, plant or human. She finishes some sculptures with 24 carat gold or platinum. 

Her larger sculptural ceramics can resemble swollen seedpods, shells and organic shapes, soft and sinuous in contour, occasionally more confrontational in stance and detail, more human, with spikes or sharp nodules or vertebrae.
