Katie Miller

My work is simple and useful. I like it to be cheery and pleasant, bringing details gathered from nature. I  aim for simplicity in my forms but add elaborate details in the stamps that I design and carve by hand. I hope that the imperfections, the evidence of my hands on the clay, is what adds to the character of my pieces. I make functional pieces that are durable because I want them to be used everyday. When my work becomes a part of someone’s daily routine it gives me a sense that I’ve contributed beauty and softness, even imperfection, to an otherwise structured and often mass made world.
