The beauty of craftsmanship often finds echoes across different fields and practices. So it is when the ceramic artist Jeanette Adrienne Wee encountered the fine jewellery icons of Tiffany & Co. The realms of earthen clay and gleaming gold may seem far apart, but they share common qualities. A tradition of handwork; a delicate sense of line, shape and proportion; an abiding attention to detail; and the courage to explore new creative possibilities through artisanship and fine craftsmanship.

For Wee, her ceramics practice is in a newfound space of experimentation and daring. But she holds that the fundamentals are immovable. Not breaking the rules per se, but continuing and creatively furthering them.
A first step like wedging, for example, is non-negotiable. This is where soft clay is kneaded by hand to remove air. Wee uses a spiral technique, learnt in Japan, where formless clay is kneaded into an almost nautiloid shape. Done before the material even reaches the wheel, this technique is a delicate process that gives the clay strength.
