About

The work I make is small, carefully crafted and delights in imperfections. I spend time with each piece considering how to best show its character. Not cleaning up and hiding the making technique, but looking for ways of emphasising that which it is. The surface decoration happens in a similar way. I throw and tear and stick, working with both plan and chance then look and think and hunt for possibilities. From these possibilities characters and narrative evolve.. The fun for me is exploring how the characters communicate, both with each other and with the viewer.

"Katherine's work is highly individual, quirky and enigmatic. The pots suggest stories, with an atmosphere that is intriguing, odd, and sometimes plain weird. I love the way her decorations challenge our imagination."
