For all your ills,
I give you laughter
Rabelais
Each piece is 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 has a firm grounding in ceramics and teaching, making and mending and poking about in museums. She also keeps a lively sketchbook. All this feeds into her clay work. She studied 3D Design (Ceramics and Glass) at Leicester Polytechnic, has an MA in Applied Art and Visual Culture from London Guildhall University and a PGCE from Westminster College, Oxford.
‘My work is a celebration of ‘in the moment’ creative decisions and storytelling. I like to leave an element of ambiguity in the surface imagery. To suggest a narrative, but to leave enough space for the viewer to dream’
