DESIGNER PROFILE
Katy McIntyre
Details:
Katy’s interest in the natural world stems not only from the beautiful forms and intricate patterns, but also from the efficient and economical use of material that form natural structures. She instils this philosophy into her practice and is able to recycle the off-cuts of clay to use in future works. Katy mostly works with slip casting forms, and then finishes the objects by hand, cutting patterns into the surface of the forms. This technique of hand carving slip cast multiples transforms each object into a unique piece with its own unique pattern.
