Summary

Jenny Palmer is a Vancouver-born artist and potter based on Vancouver Island. An Emily Carr graduate (BFA, 2008) in Photography, Jenny spent years working her way through breweries and children's art studios before running a home-based childcare program. In 2019, she discovered clay and began exploring pottery as a creative outlet in the evenings. When Covid hit, the world slowed down and that pause helped push Jenny to grow her late night pottery hobby into something bigger. Working from her cozy home studio, she creates vibrant, textural, functional stoneware that brings color, warmth, and joy to everyday life, reflecting her love of process, play, and the beauty of handmade craft.
