Jacqueline Poncelet

Jacqueline Poncelet is a Belgian-born British artist and ceramicist known for her innovative approach to decorative arts, blending fine art sensibilities with functional craft traditions. She rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s as part of a generation of British ceramicists who challenged conventional boundaries between art and craft, producing works characterized by bold surface decoration, geometric abstraction, and experimental use of materials including bone china and earthenware. Her multidisciplinary practice later expanded beyond ceramics to include textiles and furniture design, cementing her reputation as a significant figure in British contemporary craft and design.
