Fans remember fondly her belly dancing tea pot & mugs, steam punk/Christmas flat backs, raku alpaca and Oak tree water feature, as well as her week one 'Hero' topping the sauce pot of the Sunday dinner set. Jan embraced this challenge with all the joy of the clay discovery journey, taking on techniques and clays for mammoth builds she would never have had the opportunity to build otherwise. This experience has galvanised her desires to share the wellbeing and mindfulness the clay gives her, by sharing it with others.
