Jess Sasso is a Los Angeles-based ceramic artist whose work explores themes of memory, containment, and emotional transformation through clay. Rooted in both functional pottery and sculptural forms, her practice draws on Roman ceramic traditions reimagined through a contemporary, intimate lens. Influenced by her Italian heritage—Sasso meaning “stone”—her vessels often embody dualities: softness and strength, utility and story. Jess’s work is known for its tactile depth and quiet intensity, often incorporating hand-altered elements that reflect her ongoing exploration of identity, healing, and release.
