On Monday, May 10, 2021, 2:00-3:30 pm, the Connecticut Ceramics Circle presents Earth, Water Air, Fire and Hands, a lecture by Kate Malone, MBE, British Studio Potter and Glaze Research Specialist, London, England.
Kate Malone MBE is one of the UK’s leading ceramic artists, with an illustrious career spanning over thirty years.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, she has endeavored to make her artwork accessible to enthusiasts of all levels. Her work ranges in scale from small, jewel-like pieces to large-scale projects such an entire building. Malone has developed an unmistakable and highly regarded style. “Inspired by the optimism and joy in nature,” her highly-colored, natural forms brim with a sense of growth and abundance and aim to communicate the ‘Life Force’ to the viewer.
In addition to an exploration of nature, Kate has spent her career pioneering glazing techniques via research and experimentation in the chemistry of glazing and has the largest crystal glaze archive in the UK. The sophistication of these glazes has led to some interesting collaborations with prominent architects and designers working on inspiring public art projects in hospitals, schools, parks and libraries.
Malone’s work is held in over forty museum collections worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum London, The Ashmolean Museum Oxford, LACMA in Los Angeles, and the Cité de la Céramique Sèvres. She has had more than twenty solo exhibitions as an artist.
Lectures are to be held remotely on Zoom and will be free to members. Lectures are open free of charge to non-members for their first meeting, with a $25.00 fee to be charged to attend subsequent meetings via Zoom.
