"My unique hand-built pieces display my architectural love of form, whilst allowing space for ornamentation and story telling. The evocative pieces speak to human resilience, alongside both our connection to and distance from nature, through the figurative and botanical illustrations. I encourage the onlooker to overlay their own narratives. I am ceaselessly developing my practice, systematically pushing the boundaries of my skills and knowledge base."
Jordana Lyden-Swift is a ceramic artist based in Johannesburg. She studied Art & Design at Chelsea College of Arts in London, going on to qualify and practice architecture around the globe for a decade. Irish by birth, she relocated to Johannesburg in 2019, training at the Kim Sacks School of Ceramics. Swiftly becoming obsessed with the art form, her life changed course to focus and develop this newfound passion.
WHAT I CREATE
Crafted from rich, tactile stoneware clay, every piece is truly unique, ensuring that whether you select one from a gallery or commission a custom design, your chosen piece will be entirely bespoke. ​​
