Jacqui Sosnowski. Lives in Mullumbimby, NSW Australia. After becoming dissatisfied with the glossy look of conventional glazes while studying for her Diploma in Visual Art at TAFE, Jacqui Sosnowski began experimenting with alternative methods of firing. Her eastern European heritage led her to investigate the little know field of Obvara firing (a Twelfth Century Baltic technique) and other methods such as Raku and sagger which she has been now practising for over 10 years. She now offers workshops in these methods and has become known as “Obvara wan Kenobe” for her mastery of the obvara technique. No two pieces Jacqui produces are ever the same lending her work a unique perspective. SOSCERAMICS
