jamilynn wilson

Jamilynn Wilson is a self-taught ceramic artist from Summerside, PEI, whose work explores the intimate connections between land, memory, and family heritage. Using local wild clay, she creates hand-built pieces that honor her grandparents’ roots while reflecting on life in Western Prince Edward Island.

Rooted in experimental firing techniques and site-responsive processes, her practice engages directly with the textures and rhythms of the island’s coastal landscape. Salt, erosion, and the passage of time inform the surface and form of her work, resulting in ceramics that evoke both the natural environment and the emotional resonance of place.

Through her practice, Jamilynn seeks to capture the fragility and resilience of coastal life, creating pieces that act as tactile stories and contemplative objects. Her ceramics bridge craft, ecology, and personal history, inviting viewers to reflect on their own connection to land, community, and the impermanence that shapes our surroundings.

Currently Jamilynn is working towards a tableware line featuring the Island clay. Along with working on limited edition collections & collaborating with fellow artisans to make one of a kind pieces.

You can find her work documented on instagram, where she writes about the processes involved in the craft and the ideas and discoveries she encounters along the way.
