Drawing on her African heritage, Catherine specialises in traditional hand building techniques, such as pinching and coiling. She uses the ancient Japanese technique of Raku. Glazed pieces are removed from the red hot kiln & smoked in sawdust. Once cooled in water and carefully cleaned the pieces reveal their vibrant glazes and gorgeous smoked areas. Catherine’s Raku ceramics are available through her website and galleries in Cornwall, London and Surrey. Studio visits available by appointment.
