CERAMICS:

Catherine’s ceramics vary from delicate lace and basket inspired forms to sculptural work and tableware. She works in both earthenware and stoneware and utilizes a number of different techniques such as Raku and smokefiring.

Catherine Brennon works from The Underberg Studio. She creates one of a kind pieces, often with lace impressions. Her ceramics are on view and are for sale in the gallery attached to the studio.

Catherine is influenced by many things: natural life form patterns, African sculpture and textiles, wilderness landscapes, music, the spiritual life. From the time of her initial training in ceramics (1977-79) she has endeavoured to connect with people through the medium of clay. She maintains her biggest responsibility to her craft is to remain enthusiastic and energized in what she does with clay. To this end she continually exposes herself to the work of other artists and is constantly updating her skills and knowledge through courses and travel. During 2002/3 Catherine returned to the Witwatersrand Technikon where she converted her 3 year Diploma in ceramics to a BTech Ceramics Degree, passing with distinction. The practical component during this period required pieces to be made with reference to textures such as lace, basketry and other woven surfaces. This resulted in the body of work that she is still currently busy with, which can be viewed at the gallery.
