Jean Prophet

Artist's Background

For over 30 years, Jean Prophet has created functional and decorative pottery that combines good design with careful craftsmanship. She continually explores colorful new glaze combinations that are brushed, trailed or sprayed over the initial glaze. Many wheel-thrown forms are altered; some have clay additions or stamped designs.

A native of Canada, Jean came to California in 1964 to practice nursing. Her love of clay began ten years later when she started taking ceramic classes at Foothill College. She shared studio space for many years with three other ceramic artists at Pine Tree Pottery in the Redwood Grove Nature Preserve in Los Altos. Jean now works out of her home studio.
