Contact TATTY K

Tatty K has facilitated and mentored youth artists on 6 public art mural projects throughout the Mount Barker district.  She has also collaborated with and encouraged many people to develop creatively and helped them to set up their own creative spaces/journeys.

If you are an artist, youth worker, lifestyle assistant, personal support worker, emerging artist, recovering from a difficult life event or wanting a better wellbeing, then contact Tatty K for encouragement or mentoring.

Relief carved handmade tiles is a Tatty K's speciality.  The shaping makes the image appear 3 dimensional and all the cut lines are part of the design. 

Rather than compete with broken tile mosaic artists, Tatty K's point of difference is to make her own tiles from scratch.

She can teach you how to make your own feature tiles, how to lay out a design, what materials and equipment to use, and how to grout your completed mosaic.

In mid-2017 Tatty K participated in a Ceramic Tour to Japan. She studied techniques under 6 different Japanese pottery masters and came back with many new approaches to share with her clients. This is an"Oribe" style vase.

Using Japanese making techniques is fun, highly experimental and an exercise in mindfulness. If you'd like to learn some Japanese making techniques, contact Tatty K today.

Studio Tatty K fires pottery for students, the community and her own work. If you want a firing only service and are making your own work for sale please contact the Pug Mill in Mile End, or Bennetts Magill Pottery. If you need advice and help with acquiring a kiln, Tatty K can give training and charts for $75 per hour.

As well as bowls, plates, bottles, mugs and kitchenware, Tatty K is often asked to custom create larger functional items. In this case it was a bathroom sink - this item was wheel thrown, hand built, stippled with a river pebble, coated in slip, glazed in white and fired to 1260 degrees Celsius.
