Karen Redfern

Suffolk-based ceramicist Karen Redfern rediscovered her passion for clay whilst running her own art gallery and publishing company on the Isle of Skye.

Preferring to work in the ancient slow craft of hand building Karen creates unique stoneware sculptural forms influenced by the volcanic formations and the exposed ruggedness of the Skye coastline.

“I find the repetitiveness of the forming and sculpting of the clay to be calming and meditative. The ceramics that I build are simplistic in form with minimal glazes, I prefer the addition of textures and carvings to create an organic and raw aesthetic. The rustic feel of each pot adds to its own uniqueness. Clay is such a tactile material which responds directly to your hands and if allowed forms come into their own.”

Karen produces limited small collections or larger individual one-off pieces making her work highly collectable.
