CLAY BY CATHERINE COLLINS
Functional. Decorative. Ceramics.
About
Catherine Collins is a self-taught ceramic artist creating small-batch ceramics in her home studio located in Brisbane, Australia.
Her practice utilises a combination of wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques to craft unpretentious, practical and sculptural pieces that brighten everyday spaces.
​
Each piece is hand sculpted from durable stoneware clay bodies sourced locally on Australia's east coast. All clay waste is hand-recycled in the studio to be used for new creations.
Process & Care
Ceramic ware is beautiful and durable, but takes a long time to create.
Each piece is carefully worked through a number of steps and twice -fired to between 1220°C and 1280°C before it is finished and ready to use.
​
All tableware is food, microwave and dishwasher safe and can be treated like any other piece of ceramic ware in your home (except, hopefully, it is a little bit more loved). If your piece features a matte coloured design, hand-wash is generally recommended to preserve the design, though it will do fine in the odd dishwashing cycle.
​
Unless otherwise stated, all vases are watertight.
