Kate Cornish is a ceramic artist working primarily with stoneware clay, oxides, and volcanic glazes. Her practice draws from folklore, mythology, and ancient craft traditions, resulting in expressive totems that feel both contemporary and timeless.

Each piece is infused with a sense of magic and reverence, functioning as household deities or elemental spirits, guardians that watch over the spaces they inhabit. Through her work, Kate explores the enduring human desire to connect with unseen forces, blending the symbolic and the sacred with an earthy, tactile materiality.

As the modern folklore revival continues to grow, Kate’s work has found an ever-widening audience drawn to its raw beauty, ritual energy, and the quiet sense of protection her totems seem to hold.
