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.
