Jack Durling - Chin Straps

Lustres and porcelain details upon ceramic forms are used to create a visual language that subtly highlights environmental and conservation messages. His work is hand built using a variety of methods and informed through illustration that is realised in clay and distinct for his unique style.

Having spent a lot of time in Dungeness as a child, known for its very wild scenery and textures, Jack developed his interest in wildlife. Textural contrasts have evolved as a recognisable feature in Jack’s work.

Jack is a Craft Council alumni and has work in their permanent collection. He exhibits in reputable shows nationally and stocked in respected galleries across the UK. He is also a sessional tutor at the presitgious Westdean College of Art and Craft Conservation.
