"I am motivated by a fascination with clay and with nature.

Transforming soft wet clay to fired hard ceramic,

then to a shiny glazed surface is addictive."

-Kate Malone  

Kate Malone is a ceramist from London.  Her art reflects her fascination with nature, often taking the shapes of berries, pumpkins, and other plants.  Malone works in large-scale public projects, one-of-a-kind ceramics and playful, smaller pieces.
