BIO
AREAS OF EXPERTISE: CERAMICS
Kate O’Kelly works primarily with Ceramics, specialising in slip casting and model making. Her practice is influenced by an interest in adapting established craftsmanship techniques and combining new technologies with traditional production methods.
O’Kelly’s playful approach to form and a curious attention to process results in delicate, fine porcelain pieces. Often working with assemblages, O'Kelly's work references the role of objects and memory, and how material culture and architectural spaces resonate with our sense of identity.
Awards include a Future Makers Innovation award, Future Maker Practitioner award in 2014, the Golden Fleece Merit prize in 2015 and the RDS Craft Awards Emerging Maker, Ceramics Category winner 2017. In 2018 She represented Ireland at the European Ceramics Context Biennial in Bornholm, Denmark.
