PINCH POT PICNIC | JEN KERR

Join us for an outdoor meditation on food, form and connection. Led by exhibiting artist, Jen Kerr, participants will explore the making of burnished pinch pots amongst the idyllic setting of the Mundaring Sculpture Park, followed by a shared picnic and conversation. 

These pots are ephemeral; the object outcome is not the focus of this experience, but rather, the process of making and connecting. This experiential workshop seeks to explore the intuitive connection we have with clay, and its sometimes impermanent and imperfect structure.

Suitable for all skill levels. 

Sat 13 Sep 2025 | 10 am – 1 pm | Suitable for all ages

ARTIST BIO

Jen Kerr is an Australian artist, curator, educator and public arts facilitator, living and working on Wadjuk Boodja whose ongoing engagement with clay has been conducted alongside her career in art education and management. In 2015, while living in Jakarta, she reignited her focus on ceramics, while studying with Indonesian potter Haryoadiputro Soenggona. 

Her exploration with clay is a process of inquiry, a way of thinking, caring and knowing. A way to connect with place, memory and other beings. 

Jen has an MA (Arts in Public Space with distinction) RMIT and a BA (Art Education, Major in ceramics) Curtin University. 

Jen has participated in the Mundaring Hills Open Studio trail, annually for the past five years and numerous group exhibitions and events in Western Australia.

She shares a studio with her ceramicist husband, Bernard Kerr, on Nyaania Creek in the Jarrah-Marri forest of the Darling Scarp – Katta Morda.
