Jennifer Patel

Bio

Jennifer Patel is a Kansas City transplant and mom to 3 (almost grown) humans.  As her parenting time freed up, she started classes at Belger Arts in March of 2023 and very quickly became a regular presence at the studio.  She now refers to herself as an “obsessed hobbyist” and continues to work to develop her skills and range. 

Artist Statement

As an artist, I focus on bringing out the beauty in functional pieces. When working on the whee,l I lean towards clean lines and definition, and use glaze to accentuate those points.  As I’ve moved into handbuilding, I am allowing myself to take a much more organic approach and see where the clay takes me.  I’m constantly working to expand my horizons and move out of my comfort zone - all very much a work in progress.
