Jenny Glas

Jenny Glas is an English Literature graduate from the South West of England who studied at the University of York when the coronavirus first emerged. Creative writing allowed her to respond to a set of circumstances with sensitivity, whilst literature, nature and music have provided her with solace from the situation imposed by the pandemic.

These images are of Jenny’s hand painted Japanese inspired ceramics set. The sunflowers represent positivity, strength, good luck and loyalty. The calligraphy symbols on each mug translate as hope, peace, love and kindness.

She states ‘I’ve been inspired by the literature of Haruki Murakami and have always loved the drinking cultures associated with Japanese and oriental traditions. Peace and hospitality are essential.’
