Sculptural Ceramics Rooted in Story and Nature
From her studio on the Sussex coast, ceramic artist Katja Seaton creates hand-built vessels and sculptural forms that weave together craftsmanship, narrative, and a deep connection to the natural world. Each piece is shaped slowly by hand, layered with intricate detail, and designed to reward close looking.
Katja’s practice often begins with small observations—textures found on the shoreline, fleeting patterns in the landscape, or overlooked creatures that carry larger symbolic weight. Her ongoing series Not Quite Perfect explores personal and societal themes through vessels that celebrate resilience and imperfection.
A Language of Ornament and Celebration
With a background in decorative arts and luxury cake design, Katja brings an ornamental richness to her ceramics. The elaborate surface work—delicate piping, layered textures, floral motifs—translates a sense of celebration into enduring form. These works, whether vessel, sphere, or sculpture, occupy the space between fine art and interior object.

Art with Presence
