about kate cornelius

Kate is a ceramic artist specialising in porcelain and stoneware vessels, both decorative and domestic. She is interested in shape and proportion and our emotional response to a piece.

The wheel is a starting point for most of her ceramics, but also coiling and slab building. Her work includes the Neriage and Nerikomi methods where coloured is clay used to create a pattern, much as in Murinni bead work. She also carves into clay surfaces and decorates with slips and oxides.

The aim of these pieces is to create a pattern that is organic but defined, a shape that is contained but not restrictive, and proportions that are harmonious and dynamic.
