Josephine Townsend is a ceramic artist working from her home studio in Canberra. She has a busy retail practice, with a number of stockists in and around Canberra, regular markets, and sales from her studio. She also exhibits regularly, enabling her to explore more complex ideas, forms and surface designs, such as her coloured inlaid porcelain (nerikomi) work. Her nerikomi work is all about colour, pattern and expressing the precious qualities of porcelain; the delicacy, the luminous translucence and the pure colour response.
