Jacqueline Main
The Main Pottery
Nestled in the coastal town of Busselton, Western Australia, Jacqueline Main of The Main Pottery shapes the essence of her surroundings into exquisite ceramics. With skilled hands and a potter's wheel, she transforms raw clay into functional ware, including elegant bowls, cups and plates, each piece carrying the distinct mark of her artistry. Beyond the wheel, Jacqui seamlessly integrates a slab roller to craft clay sheets, fashioning unique wall plaques and captivating garden sculptures. The heartbeat of her creative haven is a small electric kiln, patiently awaiting its role in the transformative alchemy of pottery. The journey unfolds with a meticulous bisque firing, preparing the greenware for the infusion of commercial, high-quality glazes. Jacqueline's discerning eye selects glazes that not only add vibrancy but also promise durability, ensuring each piece is both visually stunning and robust. The final chapter reveals itself in a second firing, reaching scorching temperatures of 1200 degrees, where the ceramics emerge as resilient works of art. From the functional elegance of bowls to the intricate beauty of wall art, each creation from The Main Pottery reflects Jacqui’s dedication to her craft, capturing the essence of Busselton's coastal charm in every handcrafted piece.
