Collaboration Test Pieces – further Exploration
Amanda Doherty and I have been continuing our collaborative explorations. Here’s a little taster.
A Different View – A Collaborative Project
I have been working with jeweller Amanda Doughty on a collaborative project – sharing ideas and inspiration
Dungeness at Dawn
This week we took a trip to one of my favourite places to visit – Dungeness. We got there in time to watch the sun rise.
The Selkie – A collaborative exhibition
Over the last few months I have worked in collaboration with textile artist and weaver Imogen Di Sapia to produce a body of work that resonates with her beautiful woven fabric and hand died and spun yarn. In Feburary we held our collaborative exhibition & installation at Lokal+, in Helsinki, Finland. The project was a …
Making Ground
Making Ground is an adventurous collaboration between craftspeople and the land led by basket maker Annemarie O’Sullivan with ceramic artist Elaine Bolt.
Pursuit of Intrigue
‘Pursuit of Intrigue’ is the title of a new short film made about my work. The film offers a sensitive portrait of my current work; focusing in on my ceramic and mixed media objects; dipping into my thought processes, taking a peek at how I work with clay and incorporate found materials. The film can be viewed online …
Fence posts and bottle tops

Buoys and Vessels
I’ve been developing an idea based on buoys (the kind that are often used by boats, or on fishing nets) and particularly the broken and tangled versions I sometimes found washed up on the beach. I wanted to make something that took elements of the buoy and the open shape of a vessel. I also wanted to …
Wilderness
I have a special liking for slightly deserted landscapes with that abandoned dilapidated look going on. Dungeness on the Kent coast has to be my favourite place to experience this kind of atmosphere. It’s a massive coastal ‘desert’ where fishing boats lie stranded on the vast stretch of shingle, slowly rusting and weathering away. There …

Kim has been working towards a PhD in Ceramics at the University of the Creative Arts in Farnham and this is her major exhibition. Kim started her PhD studies at the same time as I started studying …
