Meet the Maker:

Name: Jessica Krut

What county do you live in?: Dutchess

Biography: I'm an outdoors loving ceramicist living and working in Rhinebeck. My work begins with clay and ends in the unpredictability of a wood kiln. I’m drawn to meticulous surface treatment. Layers of slip, intricate lines, and deliberate textures embellish the forms I create. There is something cathartic in obsessing over these details, then surrendering them to a firing process I cannot control. The final outcome depends entirely on airflow, flame, and ash, and that partnership between precision and chaos is what keeps me returning to the studio.

What year did you start living/working in the Hudson Valley?: My family moved here in 1994. My obsession with clay began in 2009 and has persisted since.

What are some of your favorite things to do in the region?: You can find me cycling, hiking, and paddle boarding just about anywhere in the Hudson Valley. Wandering around the woods is my favorite past time.
