About Squiggle and Dash Ceramics
Jessica Ninci is an artist and ceramicist from Houston, Texas. She earned her MFA from the University of Houston in 2013 and her work has been exhibited in various spaces including the Galveston Artist Residency, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. She occasionally teaches art classes at various local institutions and practices her craft in her home-studio in Galveston, Texas - where she's lived for the last 7 years. Her work is inspired by a love of form, color, and native flora and fauna.
When did you first get started?
I've been working in the arts since leaving graduate school in 2013. My focus on ceramics however, came somewhat later in 2014 when I took ceramics classes in Austin at the Texas Contemporary.
What inspired you to start your business?
First, as I was teaching full time, it was a hobby. I kept gaining momentum and making more sales, and eventually decided to take on a full time ceramic practice.
What is your favorite thing to make/produce?
My favorite thing to do is throw any form on the wheel. I'm primarily a hand-builder, so wheel throwing is relaxing.
Where are you from/where did you grow up?
I am from the South of Houston and grew up very near Galveston.
Share a fun fact about yourself you'd like your customers to know!
I love to garden at home. I grow vegetables and a lot of native plants.
