Jack Doherty is a renowned potter and ceramic artist who works in soda-fired porcelain.
Born in Co.Derry/Londonderry, he studied at the Ulster College of Art and Design wanting to be a painter, but after a visit to Lucie Rie's studio he decided to make pots for a living. From 2008 - 2013 Jack was the first Lead Potter and Creative Director at the refurbished Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall where he established the production studio and designed a contemporary domestic range of soda-fired tableware.
He currently works independently from his home studio in Cornwall and exhibits in the UK and internationally; his ceramic vessels are represented in many public collections including the Irish Contemporary Ceramics collection at the Hunt Museum, Limerick, the National Museum of Ireland and the Ulster Museum.
