I was very fortunate to spend two days, maybe more opportunities to come?, at Kate's studio for work experience. I was surprised to be greeted by Kate herself when I arrived at her studio. She has a video of her studio on her website, which I have already seen online but it was nice to actually see the space in person, which is a live and work studio.

She showed me three different tasks to for the day along side her lovely assistant. They looked simple at a glance but the level of precision regarded to do these tasks well was extremely high. Kate was very nice and super generous with her time and knowledge, which I cannot thank her enough for her time. Most importantly, to watch her at work at her studio was a joy as the fluidity and effortlessness in her hand movements showed her mastery.

Blue bits in the glazes are crystals in the glaze that she specialises in.... need to be up close and personal with the pieces to see the crystals!

This is her glaze research studio... 30 years of hard work!
