Jan Helm, owner of oneofakindclay.com in her Leicester, North Carolina studio, creates mid-range fired functional and sculptural ceramics.

My work is influenced by nature, spiritual, and cultural references. When working with clay, I connect to a creative flow and the expression of imagination. I pay particular attention to the feeling, design, shape, textures, color, and finishing of each piece. As a former dancer and dance therapist, I infuse movement and energy into my work. I connect with spirituality and emotion. As a graphic artist and painter, I integrate drawing and painting into my ceramic pieces. Preservation of and living in harmony with the natural world is something I value as an artist and person. Commissions accepted.
