Kate recently became a featured artist at Made By Hand Online (Kate's Page) where she now sells her range online.

Introduction:

Kate Evans is a ceramist based in South Wales who graduated from Cardiff School of Art and Design in 2009. Since graduating, she has worked in a professional multi-dimensional cermaics studio exploring the effects of shapes, patterns, silhouettes, shadows and contrasts of abstract and nature forms.

The main inspiration for her present artwork is a combined passion for clay and plants, which stems from her initial career as a gardener. This background has helped her to identify a range of suitable plant designs which originate from flowers found within welsh meadows.

Her present range consists of small, hand thrown porcelain vases; combining grey, green and blue glaze stains with transparent glaze to create a range of subtle hues which both compliments and enhances the carving.

Straight sides and turned bases contrast with the organic silhouettes of incised plant designs to create a unique piece. Each design is delicately, and labouriously, carved into the surface and as a result no design is exactly the same.

Thanks to an accident Kate was able to develop a unique design feature within her glaze, where the glaze "drips" - forming irregular drops at the base of the pots. Following experimentation, she has been able to successfully replicate this into a range she called 'Seren'drip'ity' which can been viewed via the Gallery page.
