Cat Head Chopstick Holder in Black by Kay Train Ceramics

Kay’s work creates bold silhouettes with contemporary subject matters and decorative techniques. Her work references folklore and nostalgia in juxtaposition with modern culture. Kay lived in Stockholm for a couple of years and the aesthetic of the country remains to inspire her. Now Kay resides in the seaside city of Brighton, East Sussex and she is inspired by the bustle of the city along with the old folklore tales that lie deep in the East Sussex countryside.

After this process, Kay hand decorates her designs onto the plate and it is then fired again followed by hand glazing before being kiln fired one final time.
