Grace Landman Catherine

Catherine Grace Landman, born in 1975 in South Africa, received her Bachelor of Technology in Ceramic Design in 2002 from the University of Johannesburg. Before discovering ceramics, Catherine worked as a graphic designer and realised that her true passion lay in creating with her hands. Catherine works as an independent ceramic artist from her studio in Luxembourg. She finds inspiration from nature and her surroundings, with a focus on botanicals. Her mother was a floral designer and this has also influenced her work. The clay she uses to create both her sculptural and smaller pieces are stoneware and porcelain. All her work is made by hand using techniques of slabbing, coiling, pinching and press-moulding. Currently, she is experimenting with developing her own range of crystal glazes.
