Jessica is excited how a handmade object can allow an everyday ritual become more pleasurable. She designs and makes her own functional pieces, inspired by antique kitchenware, to be handled and used whilst also being effective as a sculptural object. The process of her work is driven by her belief of the value and importance of celebrating craftsmanship within handmade objects.
