Kate Spence
2024 – Taking part in Potfest Suffolk – Haughley Park
Kate is a Cambridge-based moonlight potter, making small batch ceramic tableware and unique pieces for the home. Much of her work is inspired by the light, landscapes and heritage of northern England where she grew up—the mountains of the Lake District and the hills and seascapes of Northumberland. She uses a variety of stoneware bodies and most work is fired in an electric kiln. She is interested in the way ceramics structure our daily lives and the rituals of preparing, presenting and sharing food and drink. She likes to make pots that are comfortable to handle and experiments with glaze and texture to make pieces that are tactile as well as visually interesting.
