Unglazed porcelain works exploring light, shadow and the quiet passage of time.
CURRENT & UPCOMING EVENTS
I'm delighted that my piece, 'Blossom at the Golden Light of Dawn', has been selected for The Harley Open, a regional exhibition bringing together 138 works chosen from over 700 submissions, spanning photography, painting, pottery, canal art and heritage craft. It's a porcelain and oak wall sculpture exploring the passage of light through the cycle of a day, from first gold-lit dawn to nightfall.
Where: The Harley Gallery, Welbeck, S80 3LW When: 19 September 2026 – 3 January 2027 · Mon–Sat 10am–5pm, Sun 10am–4pm · Free entry |
NEWSThe traditional gift for an 18th wedding anniversary is porcelain, and Mulberry Bloom has just gone to a couple marking exactly that milestone. It felt like a particularly fitting sale.
The piece spirals outward from a pale cream centre through gradations of dusty plum and mulberry, deepening to near-black at the outer edge. Each element is folded and fired individually, and the final work carries an almost tactile sense of movement — petals caught mid-bloom. Congratulations to them on 18 years!

I am always delighted and very grateful when, with busy lives, people find time to write reviews.
Kate Buckley's exhibition still takes our breath away every time we walk through the building. The incredible mix of porcelain, colour and shadow is so masterfully blended in each piece to create such beautiful movement. It brings us calmness, encourages reflection and a sense of slowing down, taking a breath and taking notice." Helmsley Arts Centre, 2023
