Jane Waller

Jane Waller is one of those people the British find difficult to categorise: someone who excels in a whole range of activities. After studying drawing, painting and sculpture she turned to ceramics, producing work described by the Arts Editor of the International Herald Tribune as "among the greatest creations of twentieth century pottery".

And as if that isn't enough, she is a professional writer – with 14 published books on a range of subjects. Her first book, ‘A Stitch in Time', helped to launch a revival of interest in hand knitting. Since then, in addition to fashion, she has written children's fiction, social history and three acclaimed books on ceramics.
