Jamie Lerman (b.1998) is a ceramic artist based in Chicago, IL. Having grown up in Texas between a Baptist Church and Reform Synagogue, she places her spiritual upbringing under a critical lens, reflecting on ideas of adaptation, transformation, and sentimentality. She received her BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and has most recently completed an Artist in Residence position with the Dougherty Arts Center in Austin, Texas and has been in residence with Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Edgecomb, Maine, Oxbow School of Art in Saugatuck, Michigan, and Mass Gallery in Austin, Texas. Her work has been featured in Glass Tire and A.Y.F.P (A Yarn & Fibre Publication). 

In addition to sculpture, Lerman operates Double Cradle, a pottery project designed to celebrate the sentimental; a creation of objects that we can't help but hold with both hands. All pieces are hand-built with care and attention by the artist. You can find more of her work at doublecradle.net and on Instagram at @double_cradle
