Katharina Klug creates distinctive monochrome vessels for contemporary interiors. Her ceramics epitomise simplicity in design and shape and are inspired by ancient Korean pottery as well as the environment around her. She finds 'lines jumping out of almost anything - from stripes on cloth, wires and cables, plants and grasses, to architecture and streets.
Each piece is individually thrown in porcelain on the potter's wheel and then decorated by hand with spontaneous linear strokes or graphic patterns using home-made wax crayons and a wax-resist technique. Some of Katharina's latest work features the use of red crayon, following her recent study trip to Japan.
Although much her work is predominantly monochrome, she often gives her pots a bright red interior, which has become synonymous with her style of work.
Katharina grew up in her mother's pottery business and trained professionally in Austria and Germany for 6 years before setting up business in Cambridge in 2011. Since then she has achieved great recognition, and is widely considered to be one of the UK's top maker's, enjoying an international reputation for her work. She is sponsored by Arts Council England.
Career Highlights Include:
2022: Research trip to Japan, sponsored by Arts Council England.
2018: Featured in the 289 issue of Ceramic Review (Masterclass)
2017: Honourable mention at the International Ceramics Festival, Japan
2017: Exhibited at Ceramic Art London
2017: Shortlisted for the International Nasser Sparkasse Ceramic Prize, Germany
2016: Elected to Member of the Craft Potters Association (CPA)
