JANE ORME

Jane Orme is a ceramicist working on Wakka Wakka and Yuggera Ugarapul Country. She is passionate about making bespoke functional work that shows the maker’s hand and holds story. The ability for a vessel to hold underpins all of Jane’s practice—hold tea, hold space, hold hope. She believes that making art and working with clay is healing and aims to share this with others through her practice. Jane’s current work references personal and universal stories such as that of the current state of women’s health, connecting the maker and viewer to create dialogue and enact change. She is passionate about the ceramic community and contributes through her podcast with Aurora Elwell, Birds of Clay, and her position as one of the assistant editors for The Journal of Australian Ceramics.
