| Jo Land Crochenydd / Potter |
| Mae Jo Land wedi bod yn grochenydd ers dros 25 mlynedd ac wedi gweithio yn Japan, Awstralia a Gŵyr, gan wneud cerameg wedi’u taflu ar olwynion ac yna eu tanio mewn odynau gwydredd halen a thân coed. Yn wreiddiol o Swydd Suffolk, mae wedi ymgartrefu yn Aberystwyth ers 2007 ac wedi treulio’r rhan fwyaf o’r amser hwnnw’n magu ei dau blentyn, gan symud tŷ ychydig o weithiau a cheisio dod o hyd i le i greu. Ar hyn o bryd, mae hi a’i gŵr yn ymgymryd â phrosiect adnewyddu mawr, ac mae hi wedi sefydlu stiwdio ymhlith yr anhrefn ac yn potio pryd bynnag y gall. Yn ystod y cyfnod clo ac adegau pan nad yw wedi gallu cyrraedd y stiwdio, bu yn arbrofi gweithio mewn cyfryngau eraill fel gwneud printiau, ffotograffiaeth, lluniadu, gemwaith, gwaith resin a thecstilau. Jo Land has been a potter for over 25 years working in Japan, Australia and Gower, making wheel thrown ceramics fired in wood fired and salt glazed kilns. Originally from Suffolk, Aberystwyth has been her home since 2007 and she has spent the majority of that time raising her two children, moving house a few times and trying to find the space to make. Currently undertaking a large renovation project with her husband, she has set up a studio amongst the chaos and pots whenever she can. During lock down and times when she has been unable to get to the studio she has been experimenting with working in other mediums such as printmaking, photography, drawing, jewellery making, resin and textile work. |
