Kira Catani

"Prior to joining Clay College, I studied and practiced ceramics at a vocational school back in my home country, Finland.

Finland has a respected and strong history in modern design and during my studies in England I've grown to like and admire the traditional craft of British ceramics. In my work, I seek to combine and adapt both Scandinavian simplicity and traditional methods and philosophies.

I find my inspiration in the ordinary, and I often develop an idea for a piece from something beautiful I've seen in other people's homes. Playing around in my head what object I think would suit that surrounding and developing my ideas further.

My final pieces are made from stoneware clays and fired in a reduction atmosphere. I've spent my last months at Clay College experimenting as much as possible and have been focusing on mold making. For my final pieces, I have been trying out different ways of altering thrown pieces and using them for molds. I find this a spontaneous and interesting way of exploring what throwing has to offer."- @kiracataniceramics

Visit the Graduate Exhibition, now open daily in the Clay College Gallery or at The Department Store, Brixton Friday 10th- Sunday 12th December. A selection of the work will also be available to purchase from our website from this Friday.

Little jewellery box from an earlier post...now glazed with a cherry ash glaze. I’ve so enjoyed making some small things that still with a strong focus on texture and surface. I love the iron coming through the glaze on this side. This piece, and others, will be in the clay college graduate exhibition which is opening soon!

The exhibition will be open to the public from Saturday 27th Nov - 31st January in the @claycollege gallery in Stoke-on-Trent and at The Department Store in Brixton London from 10th-12th December.
