Inspired by the countryside surrounding her home in Hebden Bridge, Kate uses colour and shape as a visual language with influences from mid-century art & patterns.
Kate uses beautiful rich colourful metals - recycled silver, vibrant titanium blues, with warm earthy tones from copper & brass. She makes all the pieces by hand, piercing the fine details with a saw, inlaying contrasting metals & carving delicate patterns with a pendant drill. Each piece is unique.

Katie Almond produces unique and one-off porcelain pieces using a variety of slip casting and hand-building techniques. All incorporate her own drawings alongside found nostalgic imagery by using both hand painting and transfers, and many have the added opulence of gold lustre.

Each piece of her work is a canvas for decoration and collage as she carefully combines drawings with found, vintage ephemera. Katie is inspired by nostalgia, paper ephemera, vintage textiles and a love of drawing.

Jo makes wheel thrown functional decorative earthenware pots for interiors. She uses a white grogged clay that is decorated on the outer surface with oxides and contrast this with a satin glaze for the inner surface. She scuffs the outside of the pots with sandpaper then apply the oxides which turn inky in the kiln giving a powerful but soft mark.

Katie is a ceramic artist whose work is a tactile and contemplative response to the natural world. Using hand-building techniques and smoke-firing processes, Katie crafts abstract forms that echo the textures, rhythms, and raw beauty of geological landscapes. Her approach is meditative, allowing each piece to evolve through its making—where control meets accident, and surface markings emerge from the unpredictable beauty of smoke. Copper leaf embellishments add warmth and vibrancy, enriching her work with a sense of depth and radiance.
