JaMpdx is the collaboration of Jenn Gauer and Meghan Radick, two friends who have been making functional and decorated ceramics together since 2004. Jenn uses a fine porcelain and throws the pieces on a potter’s wheel, and Meghan decorates them using cake decorating techniques (imagine an actual pastry bag and all the different metal tips, but instead of buttery frosting we use clay). Each bowl, cup or vase feels great and looks elegant—this is art that you are meant to use and enjoy!

We opened Glaze, our retail store in Portland’s Montavilla neighborhood, in Sept 2023! Glaze sells JaMpdx handmade ceramics as well as work by other local makers and artists.

Jenn Gauer

Jenn uses fine porcelain and a potters wheel to make each piece of JaMpdx ceramics. She has been working on the wheel since 1996. Jenn designs ceramics with an emphasis on clean curves, making a clay canvas that’s ready for Meghan’s decoration.

Meghan Radick

Meghan was a professional cake decorator for 15 years before she translated her skills from frosting to clay. She uses cake decorating tools and techniques, as well as various stains and underglazes, to decorate each piece of JaMpdx ceramics.
