Artist Statement
AJE Pottery is a one-woman show by Amy Jan Ernst. I like to create pieces that tell the story of who I am that are both functional and artistic. As a Chinese adoptee, this includes pieces like dumpling chopstick holders, mahjong earrings, and fortune cookies. Additionally, I love to experiment with color and design, and add a fun and playful element to the ceramic ware. For example, in combining my love for food and cute things, I make a toast and egg breakfast set that expresses delight, exuberance, and vibrance which are all qualities I hope to share with others. All of my products are handmade and can be gifted or enjoyed in your home for many years to come!
