Katie Murton BA (Hons) attended a foundation course in Art and Design at Kingston Polytechnic (1988-89) followed by a degree course in Ceramics at Bristol Polytechnic (1989-92). She has been running her own small business making ceramics since 1993. Working with slabs of clay, Katie makes house number and name plaques as well as a range of decorative mirrors with ceramic frames and candle lanterns. Architectural ornament and mosaics inspire her designs and patterns; an interest sparked by childhood family holidays exploring cathedrals and chateaux of Europe.
