Kate Malone : A Book of Pots

Kate Malone is a British ceramic artist, known for exuberant colours and robust pots which are often in the shape of fruits, vegetables or fish. In the first part of this study, Kate and her co-author Lesley Jackson talk about Kate and her work. In the second part, Kate talks specifically about her making techniques, the difficulties of making large ceramics, crystalline glazes which she has become known for, studio practice and about the practicalities of taking on public commissions. The result is an insight into the work of an artist and a practical treatise on making dynamic ceramics.
