Kate Buckley is a York based sculptural artist working in porcelain. Her work focuses on the power of multiples, light, shadow, and the space between.
Colour is added to raw porcelain, then the surface and edge is rippled with origami folds to create very differing effects. Work is unglazed and fired to 1249℃.

Kate's fascination with the process of folding paper: how it springs from 2D to 3D; creates curves from straight lines; and encloses the space between led her to develop this into porcelain. She created a technique of press moulding onto origami-folded material and this allowed her to capture the essence of folded cartridge paper in porcelain form. She feels a sense of pride and success when people express surprise that her work is made from clay.
Kate is one of the organisers of the annual York Open Studios event and also a member of the British Origami Society, the Northern Potters Association, the Craft Potters Association and the York Art Workers Association.
