Kate Welsh | KW Ceramics

I’m Kate Welsh, a ceramic artist based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. My work is centered on creating minimalist, handcrafted ceramics that blend modern design with the tactile joy of handmade craftsmanship. I believe in the harmony between art and function, and every piece I create is designed to enhance daily life while celebrating the beauty of the handmade.

My journey as a ceramic artist is deeply rooted in my connection to the community at the Waterloo Potters’ Workshop, Being part of this vibrant community has been an invaluable source of inspiration and collaboration, allowing me to refine my skills, learn from fellow artists, and share my passion for the craft.

Each piece I make reflects my exploration of form, texture, and material. From functional mugs to sculptural vases, my ceramics are designed not only to serve a purpose but to engage the senses and offer a connection to the art itself. They are an invitation to slow down, appreciate the beauty in the ordinary, and connect with something made with care and intention.
