About Jacqueline Poncelet
Jacqueline is the lead artist at Flitch Green Primary School in Little Dunmow. The aim of the project is to provide an efficient, effective and inspiring learning environment which fits well into the newly developing site and surrounding community.
Jacqueline established herself as a major figure on the international ceramics scene in the 1970s and 80s. In the 90s she diversified her practice to include painting, sculpture and public art commissions, ending the decade as one of the three curators of the British Art Show.
Her personal passion is for pattern and colour. She believes that complexity can enrich our lives and should not overwhelm us. Each element within a composition should add to the overall experience. In recent years collaboration has become an important part of her work, whether exhibiting as an artist, curating, or working with architects. Her background in ceramics has left her with a strong interest in function, and her approach to public projects satisfies this side of her creativity.
Jacqueline has had numerous solo and public exhibitions both in the UK and abroad and has won a number of awards. She has lectured in the UK, Netherlands and Canada and one of her recent collaborations includes design work for the Child Development Unit at Guys and St Thomas' Hospital, London.
