Jeweller Of The Month

July - Katy Mai Webster

Katy Mai Webster makes porcelain, stoneware and sterling silver jewellery inspired by the dramatic coastal landscape around her home. Using drawings made in the landscape as source material, particularly drawings of human marks on the land, she combines mono printing, wax resist and hand painting techniques to create one-off pieces. Matte glazes are used to give the jewellery a tactile quality, and platinum and gold are often added to the fired ceramic surface. Katy Mai studied Fine Art and graduated in 2009 before taking further courses in ceramics and printmaking. She works from her garden studio on the Llŷn peninsula, North Wales.
