Collection: Katherine Silvera-Sunley : Ceramicist : Cardiff

"I am a fine artist working in ceramics. I make hand built ceramic vases, statues and various other art objects, they are then hand embellished with highly detailed illustrations. Each piece is a unique expression of my inner self. At the moment I don't make reproductions each piece is a one off.

I was born and raised in a house on Old Stony hill road, Kingston Jamaica. I received the call to create when I was a little girl. I loved drawing and then painting and used that to fuel my playful imagination. My love of working with ceramics grew out of the desire to bring life to my drawings and create something more tangible and tactile than a two dimensional painting. I was a collector of small trinkets and ceramic objects and I often found myself thinking wouldn’t it be nice if I could make this object or that trinket. That’s where my journey in ceramics began.
