Jessica Butala

Jessica Butala is an industrial designer dedicated to exploring innovative materials and processes to create distinctive products. As a soft goods designer with industry experience, she works with clients to seamlessly combine functionality and aesthetics in each project. Alongside her professional pursuits, ceramics is a second passion that she deeply values. For over twenty years, Jessica has refined her pottery skills, using techniques like wheel throwing, slab building, and slip casting to bring her creative visions to life. Each piece she makes for the Bog Market reflects her signature style, featuring bold, hand-carved graphics inspired by musical tablature, cosmic symbols, and folklore. Designed for touch and use, her pottery enhances beautifully curated ceramic pieces, merging artistry with everyday functionality. Both industrial design and ceramics are truly her passions, each fueling her creative spirit. 

You can identify most of Jessica’s ceramic pieces by looking for a 'B' with three dots on the left side carved into the underside of tableware or the back of jewelry.
