Collection: Karen Atherley

 

Karen Atherley is a ceramicist based in the UK, having created her own personal style with a career spanning 40 years, her work portrays curvy figures influenced by Greek antiquity and the colours of the impressionists.

Karen has been working with clay since specialising in ceramics at Camberwell College of Art and Crafts. She was captured by the immediate responsiveness of clay and its fleshy quality as it pushed back on her hands. There she was exposed to and mentored by prominent potters such as Colin Pearson and Janice Tchalenko.

In 1983 she established a studio in South London at Sumner Road Workshops with Philip Vian which soon grew to be a collective of makers.

Now based in Warwickshire she works independently from her home studio and works closely with galleries across the UK.
