About
Jenny Ditto is a lifelong Alaskan, born and raised in Anchorage. She has 40 years of pottery experience. She first witnessed wheel throwing in 3rd grade and her doom was immediately sealed. She could hardly wait to try wheel throwing in High School.
She taught wheel throwing classes at a recreation center in Anchorage for six years, before opening Midnight Potter Studios, and later, Clay Art Space, where she continues teaching her techniques to the people of her home town. She presents her own curriculum & teaching style for successful wheel thrown pottery in as little as one month (impressive!). She also leads workshops for making Hand-Print tiles, Raku Firings, Throw Downs and birthday parties on the wheel. She is interested in building an art facility in Anchorage for Clay, Glass, & Metal art mediums. She is looking for people who support creating a cooperative work space facility utilizing art mediums in clay, metal, and glass to be located in midtown Anchorage. 100% of her pottery sales go towards current & future artistic facility developments. Your purchase today also supports donations she makes of her pottery to non-profit fund-raising organization that support Anchorage’s community. When you support her efforts, you help support Anchorage’s community & cultural development. She donates pottery to organizations that meet her requirements: Anchorage Ski Club at Arctic Valley Ski Area's Annual Auction, and United Way of Anchorage via NANA-WorleyParsons Annual Auction. She uses recycled materials in her studio and accepts donations of materials. Her pottery is functional for the home, garden, kitchen, bath, and decorative for home or personal wear. She works with mid-range porcelain & stoneware clay, low-fire ceramic & raku clay. Her pottery & ceramic works include:
She slumps recycled wine bottles into Cheese Trays. You can find her finished works year-round in the studio gallery at 5861 Arctic Blvd., in Anchorage, AK. She creates pottery for wholesale to supply gift shops and cooking stores around Alaska. Please inquire, if your business is interested in featuring hand-made pottery in your store.
