Kathleen Hammick, completed her diploma in Fine Arts at the Victoria College of Art in British Columbia where she studied drawing and painting. She discovered clay later first through an introductory wheel class and quickly transitioned to hand building and has been infatuated ever since. Kat’s sculptural work is inspired by themes of nature and the passage fo time.

Working with organic textures and shapes Kathleen finds that the dark earthy tones created by smoke firing complements these  forms.

Fire is a powerful element that influences ecosystems both creating and stimulating life, while simultaneously destroying and taking life away. This dichotomy is highlighted with alternative firing methods, making each of the finished pieces individual by nature

Specialty: hand built, sculptural, carving
