Hand made Ceramic Animal Sculptures by JJ Vincent of Cambridge, England.
Each piece is individual with the emphasis on character and expression, ranging from the highly stylised and quirky to the more anatomically accurate pet portrait commissions.
JJ was born in Cambridge, UK. He has worked in electronics design, print plate making and Graphic Design studios. During 1975 he became a self-employed Graphic Designer working with his wife and brother trading as Vincent Design. Projects also included 3D model making and display work. In 2004 he embarked on a mission of discovery into the world of sculptural ceramics. He was hooked and became a member of Anglian Potters where he found the possibility to display and sell his ceramic animals
All his animal sculptures are individually hand-built with Stoneware clay, finished with stains and oxides. All have a certain degree of realism but with the emphasis on character.
At various times, JJ’s menagerie of animals has included orangutans, gorillas, chameleons and whales, not to mention, sheep, pigs, horses & cows.
Currently he is concentrating on editions of hares, cats and dogs which he regularly supplies to a select group of UK galleries.
When time allows he tries to fulfil requests for different animals and exclusive pet portrait commissions
