louella jones: black girl magic

Louella Jones presents a collection of inspired creations through the medium of polymer clay.

Jones knew at age 4 “playing” with clay and paint was her favorite pastime. What she didn’t know was that it was her calling. Fast forward to now, retired, children grown, she is free to focus on these offerings of total and complete joy. Hopefully that joy is infectious.

Louella Jones was born in Harlem in the 50s during what was called the Baby Boomer generation. The 10th of twelve children, she made a splash of an entrance on the front page of our local newspaper having been born with two lower front teeth. Just had to be different even then! In her 20s she moved to Brooklyn where she currently reside with her loveable, five-pound Maltese, Lola.
