Jess and Jamie Lea Wade are both multidisciplinary artists and curators that have been living and working in Central Texas for over fifteen years, rooted in the clay community. They share studios at the world-famous Eye of the Dog Art Center in San Marcos and the Canopy Art Complex in Austin. Both enjoy a number of firing styles, while recently their focus has been on the intense and rewarding Wood Firing process. Jamie Lea Wade’s work ranges from functional ceramics, to other worldly sculptures, to beautifully articulated figures; speaking to her belief that we are all strange and interesting creatures. Meanwhile Jess’s work appears as sculptural figurative remnants from some shared yet forgotten past. The goal being to connect with and expand the human experience.
