BIOGRAPHY

Zoë Johnson makes functional and decorative porcelain wheel thrown pottery and ceramic jewelry. Her work is inspired by the ocean as she creates pieces that are imprinted, carved or incised with designs of seaweed, shells, sand dollars and other oceanic motifs. She uses many glazes, but often uses celadon, blue, and white glazes that compliment her ocean-theme.
