Kate Langrish-Smith
Slipping between the notions of fashion and art, Kate’s practice crosses disciplines: contemporary fashion object, ceramics and sculpture. Using casting and mould-making techniques in ceramic and synthetic compounds, mixed media, colour, material assemblage, balance and performance. She is interested in sculpture and adornment as methods of representation in dialogue with the body and explores the semiotics of objects and the concept and physicality of touch and desire.
Based in Sheffield she is Associate Lecturer on the MA Design at Sheffield Hallam, a role that enables her to communicate her passion for materials and sustainability through education. She has a studio at the Yorkshire Art Space, where she is enrolled on their Ceramics Starter Programme.
