Personal Statement

Katie is a ceramic artist and sculptor based in Midhurst, West Sussex. With a BA (Hons) in Material Practice from Brighton University, she has honed her craft to create unique, large-scale sculptures, characterful planters, and functional tableware. Her work is deeply influenced by storytelling, individuality, and her love of connecting with people through art.

In her garden studio, Katie balances her thriving artistic practice with running workshops for children, adults, and those with learning difficulties. She also collaborates with workplaces, schools, and clubs, offering engaging team-building sessions through clay carving and totem pole creation.
