‘My love of Dutch and English Delftware has been supplanted somewhat recently, after a holiday to central Italy last summer where I fell in love with antique Majolica wares. Shops, museums, market stalls, galleries all burst with an abundance of colour, pattern, delicate scrolled handles, fluted rims, elegant pedestals and so on.. and I was completely bowled over. I have been attempting to incorporate elements of this distinctive style ever since in my work.’ Katrin Moye
A keen sense of history is a clearly discernible thread running throughout ceramic artist Katrin Moye’s work. References to European Delftware, Italian Majolica and French faience pottery abound on exquisitely detailed hand painted surfaces, whilst many and varied shapes such as flower bricks, tulipieres, posset pots and sugar casters recall a pre-industrial age of many hands at work in kitchens, apothecary shops and gardens – and from there to a formal setting at the dining table sumptuously decorated with ornate serving ware, fluted candlesticks and ingeniously designed vessels for elegant floral display. Katrin Moye works from her studio in Nottingham.
