My name is Jill Houghton Slyte and I'm a ceramic artist. I work out of my pottery studio in the county of Dalsland, Sweden.

​

I make hand-built and wheel-thrown pots out of earhtenware clay. After the bisque firing my pots are, mainly, fired either black through raku firing or smoke decorated in a pitfire.

​

I first laid my hands on clay in 2011, while living in Scotland, and there was no turning back. I love how versatile clay is as a medium an the endless possibilities for form, texture and decoration.

I'm a member of 'Konstvandring i Dalsland (www.konstvandring.nu) and the Scottish Potters Association (www.scottishpotters.org).
