Kathleen Scott has a BA in Creative Writing and Visual Arts, received from Vancouver Island University in 2004. She has worked as a potter’s assistant and a gallery coordinator since graduating. She has been in a number of gallery shows, and had her one and only solo show in 2008.

Kathleen is inspired by her West Coast island lifestyle, bright but naturalistic colours, and various ceramic techniques used throughout art history. She has been focused on hand building and glaze development for the last two years. She is always concerned with how her products feel in the hand, wanting texture to feel luscious, and contours to be a natural fit. She creates functional and sculptural ceramics in her small batch, ceramics studio in Van Anda. 

Last year, Kathleen began using seaweed imprints on her work. Then continued to add flowers and tree leaves during the summer. For 2020 she is working on a 52 Koi in 52 weeks Challenge, in addition to her regular production, posting a newly inspired fish every Sunday. She also creative in photography, painting, crochet, and gardening. You can find her work, and updates on her creative process on Facebook and Instagram under the name, Mud Otter Pottery.
