CERAMIC SCULPTURES
To commission a piece of sculpture or a wall piece please contact me at katherinestaples@outlook.com.
My work does not replicate nature, but has similarities. Inspired by the natural world it captures nature's energy, movement and forms. More specifically natural forms that have an association with the sea and items left behind by the sea on the beach. Contemporary shapes are hand built using traditional methods with an emphasis on form and fragile flowing edges, creating a personal interpretation of natural forms. Energy flows directly into each piece incorporating spirit and mood, swallowing emotions and thoughts as each piece grows.

Katherine Staples Gallery is at Wymondham Windmill, LE14 2BU. We have some incredibly talented people living amongst us and displaying their work within the gallery. There is a selection of ceramics, photographic art, paintings and jewellery. The gallery offers you an opportunity to buy from makers and artists, ideal for special treats to yourself and perfect gifts for friends and family. We want everyone to feel welcome in the gallery, come and see our plinths made from the old sails of Whissendine Windmill. Come and hear about the artists and what inspires them to create and hopefully you will feel inspired and even fancy a go at pottery yourself in the studio next door.
CERAMIC SCULPTURES FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR DISPLAY
Sculptures can be designed and created to sustain outdoor weather creating a bespoke focal point in your garden.
