Commission of 8 porcelain sculptures for the Dubai Opera House Sky Restaurant 


 
My aim is to express a sense of balance and harmony through my  work. I hand build my pieces over a period of a few days, to allow the clay to stiffen sufficiently, before adding more coils. This slow process fosters an organic growth, allows for time to step back and observe where a piece intends to go.
Raw oxides and porcelain slip, finishes that allow the tactile clay surface to remain , are used on many of my vessels.
For many of my outdoor sculptures I use metal finishes, relishing the rich patinas that develop when exposed to the elements.
​
I find endless inspiration in the natural world - the colours and textures of rocks, seedpods, wasp's nests or shark eggs found on the beach.

I grew up in Austria and moved to Australia in my early twenties. In 2000 I completed a studio ceramics course at Brookvale TAFE and have been exhibiting my work since 2007. I live and work at Clareville on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and open my studio by appointment.

To see what's new in the studio go to  https://instagram.com/katarinawellsceramics/   and feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing a piece.
