MANIFESTO by Katie Rose Johnson // Portrait Session
M A N I F E S T O is a Glasgow based ceramics studio founded by potter Katie Rose Johnston. After graduating from the Glasgow School of Art with a First Class BA (Hons) in Sculpture, Katie specialises in creating experimental objects for the home that are contemporary, high-quality and unique.
--------
Working from her garden studio in South Glasgow, Katie crafts small batch, sculptural ceramics that are influenced by the natural world that she encounters everyday. Fascinated by prehistoric artefacts and the raw, windswept landscape of her birthplace, Shetland. Through the tactile, ancient process of hand building stoneware clay, every
M A N I F E S T O product is a completely unique, functional artwork that aims to bring the rustic beauty of nature into the modern home.
Katie and I met at the first spot design market in June and I instantly fell in love with her work. I was beyond ecstatic when her and her sister contacted me about doing a portrait shoot. These photos are some of my favourites of all of 2019 and I look forward to working with Katie again!
