Description
Jemma Gascoine has such a unique technique when crafting her pottery. She pays attention to every detail while on the potter's wheel, is inspired by the breathtaking environment surrounding her studio in Monson, and uses bold, simple colors to give her pieces the final touch. She was taught by the famous potter Barry Guppy yet she has created her own style of artwork that has Jemma written all over it.Jemma is originally from England but has been in Monson for quite some time and people in her community know her very well for her work as well as teachings to students and adults in the area. You can find her student's work displayed on the shelves in her studio and their items are available for purchase. Jemma loves supporting her students as they find their own style of pottery and some even help her in the shop with painting pieces, manning the shop and so much more.Jemma also tells me about the wonderful town of Monson. It is located near Moosehead Lake but is known for the Appalachian Trail as many hikers that go through tend to stop at this small town. The mountains are breathtaking especially when the leaves are peeping.To learn more about what Jemma will be doing for Maine Craft Weekend and to view her products, please visit her website. Feel free to follow her on Instagram to get updates on new products and what's going on at the studio.Also, please check out the featured musician of this episode, Half Way Home. Their music genre is acoustic, indie, traditional folk, soft rock, and originals with beautiful harmonies. Dick Dutson, Kermit, and Alexandra Bennett are located in Monson and enjoy getting together to jam. Their song Zoom Zoom Zoom is about local Maine backroads and nearly hitting certain animals. It is quite comical.
