Katie Braida
Katie makes sculptural vessels and forms using a variety of hand building techniques. Working with soft clay, coils and slabs, she allows the material to move and suggest direction for development. Creating forms leads to the exploration of the surface. Katie creates texture and pattern based on the rhythms and patterns within the environment. Colour is applied to the subtlety textured surfaces, generating a depth of colour but retaining a softness and tactile quality that invites interaction.
