In this episode of Building Hancock: Stories of Growth and Community, hosts Dave Meeker and Shawn P Neal sit down with Hancock County ceramic artist Jennifer Meeker, whose handcrafted pottery captures the textures, shapes, and spirit of nature.

From her roots in New Palestine to her thriving studio in Garfield Park, Jennifer has built a career that blends artistry, sustainability, and community connection. Jennifer shares her journey with clay—from her first coil pots in elementary school to discovering the potter’s wheel at Herron School of Art and Design.

She talks about the inspiration she draws from nature, her love for art fairs, and her private pottery experiences that invite people to create and celebrate special moments. Listeners will also hear how her work brings joy to everyday life, whether through a morning coffee mug or a personalized piece of art!
