Janie Korn: The London artist turning everyday objects into playful ceramic art
By
Ayla Angelos
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Profile of London-based artist Janie Korn, who transforms everyday objects like plates, mugs, and candles into whimsical, tactile art pieces. Starting from a desire to disguise an ugly plate rack in her kitchen, she fell in love with ceramics and now creates playful curiosities such as cherub mugs and wobbly wax candles that blend artistry with functionality.
