BIOGRAPHY

Jennifer (Jenny) Lind devoted 20 years to the production of wheel-thrown functional porcelain work using bright colored glazes. Lind moved on from the wheel and functional ware to stoneware sculpture which was at times coil built.

Working with her husband, Allan Walter, she co-founded three production businesses: Animals & Co, produced cast teapots in animal forms; Rainbow Gate produced ceramics dinnerware; and Flat Earth Tile Co. produced tiles and tile installations.
