My name is Jamie Kelly and I’m a ceramic artist living in Denver, Colorado. Art has always been a part of my life, I was raised surrounded by it. From a young age, I always have been drawn to handmade creations. I first was really exposed to ceramics in high school. We had a great fully functional ceramics department that truly is where I fell in love with clay. From there I attended Northern Michigan University and received my BFA in ceramics graduating in 2001.


Then life happened, I was young and looking for adventure. I decided to move to Colorado with a friend. My connection with clay took a back seat to living life and trying to make ends meet. I spent a decade away from clay doing all sorts of jobs from waiting tables to installing hardwood floors.


It wasn’t until 2011 when I found the Colorado Potters Guild and I applied to become a member. I was accepted and began rekindling my love for ceramics. Shortly thereafter I met my beautiful wife. We were married in 2013 and and have since bought a house. We converted our garage into my studio and since then I’ve been working to develop my work into something I feel is good enough share with the world.
