A member of the Ceramic League of Miami, Ms. Jensen opened her Pottery by Elinor studio on Las Olas Boulevard in the late 1960s. Later she moved the shop to Andrews Avenue, where she continued to make pottery and teach private clients. She began to specialize in raku pottery, which uses a kiln-firing technique that creates cracks in the glaze and allows for metallic lusters.After almost seven years of running her own retail operation, Mrs. Jensen closed the store and moved to a studio at home. The move allowed her to focus on her art work. Ms. Jensen died at 57 in 1989.
