Jennifer Fujimoto’s Ceramic Characters Are the New Roommates You Want To Have at Home

This past win­ter, I was man­ning the MCre­ativeJ booth at Val­ley Made Mar­ket. It’s there I met Jen­nifer Fuji­mo­to—we were booth neigh­bors. As soon as I saw her ceram­ics, I was in love. I grav­i­tat­ed toward her cat Kokeshi dolls and bought one the next day! It’s now one of my prized possessions.

Jen­nifer has a back­ground in graph­ic design and an inter­est in Japan­ese folk art and tex­tiles. Her expe­ri­ence shines in the sur­face dec­o­ra­tion on her pieces. There is a beau­ti­ful bal­ance of col­or and design ele­ments adorn­ing her dolls, cups, and oth­er spe­cial pieces. The scale of the flow­ers, clouds, brush strokes, and oth­er geo­met­ric motifs are play­ful and refined.

Jen­nifer sells her work online and in small busi­ness­es in Seat­tle, Belling­ham, and Min­neapo­lis. To see what she’s work­ing on next, be sure to fol­low her on Insta­gram.

Jennifer Fujimoto creates ceramic dolls, cups, and other special pieces inspired by her background in graphic design and interest in Japanese folk art and textiles.
