JZR Art

The Eastside Culture Crawl is happening this Thursday, November 15th till Sunday November 18th! Holy, I still have wet clay to bisque and glaze. My Kiln is on overdrive for the next week. I’ll be selling some of these babes in the Crawl. It’s time to say goodbye to my clay babies and release them into the world. Come by and say hi at 105-1305 Frances Street, look for the big red arrow. We’re right behind the Vespa store on Clark. . . .... . #jzrceramics #vancouverartist #eastsideculturecrawl #claybae #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #ceramics #clayisLife #realmagic #kilnmagic #ceramicLife #madeinaSkutt #m370 See more

Hot and fresh out the kiln. One of my latest pots from a raku firing this past weekend. There is nothing that gives me more satisfaction than setting things on fire and seeing the incredible results it creates. Thank you @nomad_soul67 for helping us out and having a great time with us. Thanks @jilliansaroceramics and @patrick_rees_ , let’s do another one! But Patrick, eat your god damn apples. . .... . . #jzrceramics #raku #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #fireIntheHole #claybae #ceramics #realmagic #mylifeinClay #kilnMagic #burnitDown #pyro #crackleglaze #ceramiclife #claylife #ceramicsCansavetheworld #hotLikeFire #vancouverartist See more

Holy Cow! Time to show off my udders. This Saturday, November 3rd I’ll be showing my Udder Consumption pieces at Why I design at @museumofvan. I’m so excited these udder cakes get to make a public appearance again instead of just sitting in my living room. I want to get people thinking about our food sources, how we are raising our livestock, our disconnect to the natural world,agriculture and the food we are consuming. Can’t wait to see you there Vancouver. .... . . #jzrceramics #whyIDesign #vanouverartist #mov #uddercakes #udderperfection #udderconsumption #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #ceramiclife #claybae #ceramicartist #ceramicsculpture #contemporaryceramics See more

‘Human Crisis’ Oil on canvas This piece addresses issues surrounding refugees from past to present events. Many have lived through trauma and incredible hardships while having no place to call home. We need to re-examine our treatment of others and what we can do to help. We are not facing a refugee crisis, but a human crisis. ... . . . . #jzrart #humancrisis #survivingtheCalamity #winnipegartist #vancouverartist #supportlocalArtists #aerielview See more

I can’t get enough of this textured surface. Just adding in some pebbles from the beach into my clay and then throwing it into the kiln. I never know how it’s going to turn out. But it’s favourite hobby seems to be cracking . . . .... #jzrceramics #claybae #mylifeisaTest #ceramiclife #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #m370 #plainsmanclay #vancouverartist See more

Cheers to the weekend! Get yourself the largest mug or beer stein you can find and fill it up! This little one is my first stein, but it’s still a test. I have more ideas brewing. . . . .... #jzrceramics #claybae #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #beerstein #kilnmagic #realmagic #ceramiclife #mylifeinClay See more

Throw back to our Emily Carr days. But now our good friend @ceramicsbytessa is off on a ceramic adventure to Halifax! Way to go Tessa, you’re going to rock this residency. You were a great ‘ceramic mom’ teaching me and giving me sooooo much ceramic advice and knowledge. I still remember meeting in the wheel throwing room and finding out you are from Saskatchewan and we bonded over the prairies. And sitting by the glaze table and you telling me ‘you can do anything in ceramics..., anything is possible’ it blows my mind how true this really is. You’re a good bean Tessa and we’ll all miss you! But please, don’t pull this crazy all nighters like we used to 7 days a week. . . #ceramiclife #ceramicsisourLife #claybaes #emilycarr #emilycarralumni #leonwins #wheresourStudioDad #vancouverartists

This little planter can be found at @catchingstarsgallery on Bowen Island. Lately, I’ve become obsessed with plants and making planters. Clay is my drug. . . . #jzrceramics #claybae #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #ceramiclife #catchingstarsgallery #planter #realmagic #kilnmagic #lagunaclay #madeinaSkutt #vancouverartist #mylifeinClay

Two of my latest pots. I really love the roughness the extra grog adds to the clay. I always have new experiments coming out of the kiln. Some turn out and others get smashed immediately. These ones are keepers. . . . .... #jzrceramics #makersmovement #plainsmanclay #makersgonnamake #claybae #vancouverartist #realmagic #kilnmagic #ceramiclife #mylifeinClay #ceramicpots See more

Finally got around to documenting my raku work. Only took a few months. The raku firing process gives me a huge adrenaline rush, I’m left feeling pretty high and when it’s over I’m drained because I was so damn excited the whole time. Pots being tossed into pits of fire and the results are always incredible! . . Too much fun with @lexi_hilderman @jilliansaroceramics @lake_andrea @patrick_rees_ .... . #jzrceramics #playingwithfire #pyro #raku #burnittotheground #vancouverartist #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #ceramicLife #claybae #mylifeinClay #webeBurnin See more
