Vernor Pots is the ceramic studio and creative workspace of Jessie Hicks. It is a place to explore and celebrate the beauty in the everyday. The intimate daily rituals that shape our existence.

Jessie has a background in food, having spent over a decade running two businesses, Astro Coffee and Ochre Bakery, with her husband in Detroit, Michigan. Food and cooking are still an integral part of her daily creative practice along with ceramics and painting.

Born and raised in northern NSW, Australia, Jessie moved to London in 2004 where she met her husband, Daisuke. She has called Detroit home since 2008.

Works in process- paintings in gouche and Japanese ink.
