When Jocelyn Pransky discovered resin, it was love at first sight!
Her Mother is a potter, and she grew up using gorgeous pieces that combined art and function wonderfully everyday. Not surprisingly, this started a lifelong love of beautiful homewares and the firm belief they should be used and not shelved away. The discovery of resin as a way to marry wood, ceramic, and metal in a play of colours and light became an instant passion. She started jmp flow+design in 2018 to create pieces for your home that feel both abstract and organic.
A fluid pouring technique is used with food safe epoxy resin to create her functional art. It’s a process which is rather uncontrollable and always full of surprises. Resin by its nature is translucent, and each pour is unique – layers, movement, and mysterious combinations are frozen in the resin as the pieces cure to a glassy finish. The transparency of resin is fascinating – looking wet and fluid, while being completely solid – and the impulse to touch a resin piece is undeniable… and highly encouraged!
