Kate Malone is inspired by the element of joy in nature and particularly by an observation of fruits, nuts and berries. Malone has spent her career pioneering glazing techniques via research and experimentation in the chemistry of glazing. The sophistication of her glazes has led to some interesting collaborations with prominent architects and designers, working on inspiring public art projects in hospitals, schools, parks and libraries.

Kate Malone graduated from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1986 and now has studios in London and France .
