Katherine’s pieces are full of character and storytelling. The figures seem to be caught mid action and a sense of playful ambiguity draws you in and challenges your imagination. The more you look, the more you begin to question, and that’s where the fun begins.
Katherine works in a shed in Newbury. Her inspiration comes from a firm grounding in ceramics and teaching, making and mending, poking about in museums, mothering and general pottering. She also keeps a lively sketchbook and all of this feeds into her work.
A Ceramics degree from Leicester Polytechnic, an MA (Applied Art and Visual Culture) from London Guildhall University and a PGCE from Westminster College, Oxford probably help a bit too.
