About

Jess Grady-Benson is a ceramic artist, organizer, and facilitator of social movements based in the Pacific Northwest.  Jess has been studying and creating sculptural ceramics, installation, and functional pottery for more than ten years.  Her work has been featured at galleries across the Northwest, including A-Gallery, Pottery Northwest, Verde & Co., and Saltstone Ceramics.  Her work explores clay as a relational tool for cultivating belonging, connection, and collective imagination. 

Jess crafts functional ceramics that highlight the raw beauty of places that she has called home. Utilizing red and black clays, unglazed surfaces, vibrant colors, and sgraffito carving techniques, her work aims to connect you to the land. Mountain, river, ocean and kelp designs bring a moment of calm to your daily coffee ritual or a meal with friends.
