Katie Spragg is a ceramic artist and educator. Her catalogue of work includes a piece in the V&A collection, a permanent installation at the Garden Museum and commissions for the British Ceramics Biennale and Sotheby’s. She has exhibited with the Craft Council in London and Miami, at Make, Hauser & Wirth and with solo shows at Blackwell, Arts and Crafts House the Garden Museum and Pi Artworks. Spragg is a tutor at the Royal College of Art and a founding member of Collective Matter; an outreach group pioneering collaborative practice through clay.
“Working predominantly in ceramics, I create artworks that peer into our interconnected relationship with nature, questioning the evolving patterns in which humans and plants co-exist. I am interested in the tension and space between managed and cultivated landscapes and the resourcefulness of nature, through my work I pull focus to the margins and intersections. By creating imaginary worlds, enlarging or miniaturising specific compositions, I hope to encourage a deeper investigation into how plants behave and how their behaviour can help us reconsider our own approach to communities and landscape.
I often create work in response to participation of other people, most recently through Arts Council funded projects Plants, Porcelain, People with Norwich International Youth Project and Caroline Fisher projects and Lambeth Wilds with Lambeth Young Carers and Clay for Dementia group at the Garden Museum.”
