Remon Jephcott
-
Remon Jephcott graduated from University College, Falmouth in 2008 with a degree in Contemporary Craft. She continued studying at UFC, gaining a Masters degree in 20th Century Art & Design, Histories & Theories. Since graduating, Remon has been a practising ceramicist and has exhibited her work widely throughout the UK. Based in Truro, Cornwall, her love for the West Country is pivotal to her creative practice.
Remon’s interest in ceramics began when she first witnessed the opening of a kiln. Amazed by how clay and glaze are transformed by fire, she was inspired to experiment with the colour and surfaces of her pieces.
With seductive, pear-shaped forms, fractured cherries and mottled apples, Remon finds beauty in fallen fruits and engages in a metaphorical discussion of female sexuality.
Remon works with a combination of slip-casting and hand-build techniques. She uses earthenware clay and a range of kiln firings including glaze, decal and lustre. These various firings create effects upon which Remon adds further dimension with the addition of silver, glass and textiles. -
At the prestigious graduate show, New Designers, she was invited to join The Society of Designer Craftsmen and won their Award for Excellence at The Mall Galleries January 2009. Remon's work can be regularly be seen at Kellie Miller Arts.
