Katherine Kingdon

 

The domestic scale and gentle, enigmatic humour of Katherine’s ceramics both delight and intrigue. Each piece is beautifully crafted, with a deep understanding of figurative imagery.

​

Allow yourself to be drawn in, it’s worth the time. The more you look, the more you begin to question, and that’s where the fun begins.

​

 ‘My aim is for a lightness of touch. To suggest character and story but leave the viewer enough space to interpret for themselves’.

 

Based in Newbury, Katherine’s inspiration comes from a firm grounding in ceramics and teaching, drawing and painting, making and mending and poking about in museums. This all feeds into her work. She has a Ceramics degree from Leicester Polytechnic, An Applied Art and Visual Culture MA from London Guildhall University and a PGCE from Westminster College.

​

Whether it’s vessels or figures, Katherine’s work is about character and storytelling. She hand-builds using an off-white stoneware and has a looseness of style that exposes the nature of the materials and techniques used.
