ABOUT MARK
Mark was born in 1973 in England and is the son of the talented sculptor and ceramicist, Paul Jenkins. From the age of 15, Mark was involved in art and design, working in his father’s studio during school holidays and then for a while after leaving school.
Mark carried on his love of design and went on to college to study engineering and electronics. After university, Mark travelled the world, working in countries such as Thailand and America, gaining knowledge and inspiration from his time abroad.
Upon returning to the UK, Mark was drawn back into the art world and went back to working closely with his father. It was here that he gained more in-depth knowledge of ceramics, sculpture, mould making and product design which he is now able to bring to you.
Marks work has been featured in many well known TV shows and magazines such as Channel 4, More 4, Homes and Gardens and The Telegraph.
