Katie Almond is a designer/maker specialising in ceramics. She graduated from De Montfort University in July 2009 with a first class honours in Design Crafts. Since graduating she has set up her own workshop and supplies to galleries and shops across the UK. Katie produces hand-painted porcelain jugs, cups, cake stands and brooches. Each piece is essentially a canvas for decoration and collage. She is inspired by nostalgia, old paper ephemera and vintage textiles. Katie’s collection uses elements from a different era alongside her own drawings, text and collage. She focuses on pattern and detail using mixed media to collage and juxtapose the found and made. The pieces represent ‘one off’ pieces that explore nostalgic themes, scale and hand painted decoration.
