BIOGRAPHY

 Glenda Jordan produces functional porcelain and stoneware forms that are either thrown or slab built. Jordan developed a special glaze method using a process similar to batik which permits matte and glossy glaze colors to appear side by side.

Jordan says, "My work is a continual dance of marrying these three elements: form, decoration and color. My botanically inspired pottery combines my love: clay, great food, gardening and nature.”

Glenda Jordan was first introduced to working with clay while studying for an undergraduate degree in speech therapy at Texas Women's University.
