Katerina Evangelidou
Greek born Katerina Evangelidou studied ceramics at the West Surrey College of Art and Design (currently UCA). She stablished her studio in the mid 1980’s in Farnham, Surrey where she lives, works and teaches.
All the work is made on a kick wheel and often thrown in more than one piece. Still on the wheel, the work is then altered, reformed, wire cut and, on occasions, re-thrown.
The forms have echoes of ancient Cycladic and Archaic Greece sculpture, whilst the textures are reminiscent of the intriguing qualities of classical Greek marble fragments of drapery responding to the body structure beneath.
All ceramic pieces are fired to stoneware temperatures of 1300°C in a wood firing kiln with some salt vapour introduced towards the end. Wood ash and salt combines with the clay body and slips to give a distinctive surface quality. The form, texture and the manipulation of the firing are designed to interact with each other and are inseparable in their contribution to the finished object.
All works illustrated are for sale. Please email us for availability.
