JANE KLEIMAN has been working with clay since 1998. In addition to traditional, functional ware, she works with alternative firing techniques, such as Raku, pit fire, and Saggar Fire. All pieces are one-of-a-kind, often hand-built or thrown and/or altered. Because alternative firing techniques are low fired, the clay remains porous and fragile, and therefore non-functional for food or liquid.
Jane received her B.F.A. in photography from the Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Brunswick in 1986. She began her education in Ceramics at The Northern Westchester Center for the Arts and has continued her exploration of clay through ongoing classes and workshops.
