Katherine works pieces of British native woods into simple and elegantly stylish bowls, platters and boards. Respecting the natural beauty of the wood brought out by turning on a lathe, her bowls are simple forms without ornament. The different lines and colours of favourite woods such as Cherry, Beech, Walnut and Elm all enhanced by her touch. Each one is hand finished with matt oil, a food-safe finish, suitable for sufferers of nut allergies.

“I try to make bowls as my clients wish them to be. Often I will make a bowl out of wood from a well loved tree, so that the tree can live on after its natural death. All of my bowls are for everyday use for fruit, salad, cheese, or bread. As you use them they will gain the marks and patina of your household, they are not intended to be marooned on a shelf as an ornament.”
