Kathryn Watson

Location: Ashbourne   /  Genre: Sculptural ceramics

Artist Statement

Kathryn hand builds unique, organic sculptures for interior and exterior spaces.
The process of making is slow and contemplative and involves allowing the clay to determine the final form. The sculptures are built using coils or irregular, flattened strips of clay or carved out of larger slabs of clay. Most of the pieces are not glazed and rely on the hues of different clay bodies.
Structures of both the natural and human made world are referenced in her work.
Kathryn grew up in Sheffield and returned to her family home in 2012 where she has a studio.
