Come and be inspired by one of Australia’s exciting and successful
ceramic artists! Kirsten Coelho is an award-winning ceramic artist
who works in porcelain, producing reduction fired works that attempt to
fuse the formal and the abstract.
More recently her work has been influenced by nineteenth and early
twentieth century enamel wares and and the abstracted surface
possibilities these objects can show as they begin to age.
Kirsten Coelho trained in Adelaide at the South Australian School of
Art before moving to the UK in the early 1990’s where she worked for a
number of years in a London Studio.
Since returning to Australia in 1998, Kirsten Coelho has been a
studio tenant at the JamFactory Centre for Contemporary Craft and Design
and completed a Master of Visual Art at the South Australian School of
Art . Kirsten now works from a studio at her home in Adelaide, South
Australia. She was winner of the 2012 Sidney Myer Ceramics Award and is
represented by galleries in London, US and Australia.
Her Masterclass at Slow Clay Centre will be a one-day demonstration
and discussion-based class where participants will be able to access
Kirsten’s considerable expertise and knowledge about porcelain, working
on the potter’s wheel, glazing and building a career in ceramics! All
welcome, no prior experience necessary!

Treasures of Chinese Porcelain (2011)
In
November 2010, a Chinese vase unearthed in a suburban semi in Pinner
sold at auction for £43 million – a new record for a Chinese work of
art. Why are Chinese vases so famous and so expensive? The answer lies
in the European obsession with Chinese porcelain that began in the 16th
century.

Bio
Kathryn Mitchell is a young emerging ceramic artist,
raised on the Isle of Man and trained in Australia. She works with
stoneware and porcelain clays, in both wheel throwing and slip casting
techniques. Kathryn is fascinated with the temperamental and
unpredictable yet permanent qualities of ceramics, and aims to combine
traditional techniques with contemporary forms. Her delicate
hand-painted designs reflect the vibrancy of her adopted Australian
homeland, combined with fond memories of her British birthplace. Kathryn
has participated in exhibitions and events across Australia, including
Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Statement
In my work I explore connections
and journeys. Water is also an endless source of inspiration for me; I
grew up on the Isle of Man, a small rain-soaked British island with the
sea less than an hour’s drive in any direction and criss-crossed by
rivers and lakes. Amongst art nouveau inspired designs, my hand painted
illustrations are influenced by Florence and the Machine lyrics, Frida
Kahlo paintings and my fascination with the connections we form with the
people in our lives, be them fleeting or enduring. Wheel thrown
porcelain is a wonderful canvas on which to tell my stories.
