Hello
Hi my name is Kit and I'm a ceramicist. I work from my studio in the garden next to Stowaway.
Fascinated by clay in its multitude of colours and textures, I am inspired by the sea and land formations. My work is sometimes functional, often sculptural but always visually exciting. The processes mean all my work is as individual as a fingerprint.
