CERAMICS GALLERY
JOC Ceramics is a unique gallery located in the heart of historic Hampton, on the north bank of the river in West London. This progressive space combines the Jackson O’Connor Architecture studio with a ceramics gallery, showcasing a wide range of ceramic art and pottery.
The gallery reflects our passion for both architecture and ceramics with artwork on display by up and coming stars of the ceramics community as well as established makers. We carefully select pieces by artists whose work reflects the architectural practice’s design ethos and will sit well in the buildings we create.
We have a rotating calendar of exhibitions at the JOC Studio primarily featuring ceramics with occasional artists from other disciplines such as painting and printmaking. The space is ever evolving and new collaborations sit alongside much loved favourites.

This December the JOC Ceramics Gallery in Hampton is to host the first ever solo exhibition of ceramics and paintings by renowned actor, writer, director, comedian and artist, Johnny Vegas. The exhibition “Love Letters to St Helens” is a series of unique new ceramic sculptures and 2D artworks created by Johnny. The art will be available to purchase and the exhibition is part of a televised project to help raise funds for a large-scale permanent public artwork by Johnny which will be displayed in his home town of St Helens.
Open gallery for solo exhibition 1-5pm 9, 10 and 17th December
FEATURED ARTISTS
Amongst the artists and makers featured will be work from JOA Director, Jane O’Connor. Her exclusive collection of one-of-a-kind, hand crafted ceramics demonstrate her passion for design, colour and form, drawing inspiration from childhood memories of Hornsea Pottery coffee sets, 60s and 70s fashion as well as modernist architecture and art.
Colour was the prime topic of Jane’s post graduate thesis, and she applies this research and knowledge both to her architectural work and her ceramics – using colour with subtlety and consideration to punctuate her creations.
Jane’s current collection features modernist hand built bird forms alongside thrown stoneware pieces, combining clean, simple sculptural lines with pops of colour.
