jeannie pappas

Jeannie Pappas is a ceramic sculptor based in Toronto, Canada. She is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and studied at Sheridan College School of Craft & Design and Nova Scotia College of Art Design. She approaches the material with an overriding respect for its internal life – its memory, its instability, its fickleness –nourishing its cracks and fissures, using underglazes and washes that embellish its natural hews, As a result, each piece, while highly controlled, also offers a sense of being alive, raw, authentic – mirroring aspects of the human journey, coarse and unpredictable as it is.
