About Katie

Designer, maker and trained researcher, Dr Katie Bunnell is a creative practitioner who combines digital and traditional processes in the production of ceramic art and design. Katie graduated with a first class degree in 3D Design (Ceramics) from Bristol Poly in 1989, and completed an MA in Ceramics & Glass at the Royal College of Art, London in 1993 where she was a Darwin Scholar.

As a Research Assistant at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen she was awarded a doctorate for her practice based research thesis, The Integration of New Technologies in to Ceramic Designer-Maker Practice. Katie worked as Research Fellow in the Centre for Research in Art and Design at Grays School of Art until she took on the role of course leader for 3D Design for Sustainabilty at Falmouth University, Cornwall in 1999. Until 2015 she was Associate Professor of Design in the Academy of Innovation and Research at Falmouth, where she created Autonomatic, an award winning design research collective exploring relationships between craft making and digital technologies.

Now based in a studio at Grays Wharf in Penryn, Katie is involved in local, national and international ceramic initiatives. As a director of Brickfield CIC, a community brickworks based in a disused china clay pit in St Austell established with Rosanna Martin in 2019, she is part of a creative team that aims to connect people with the material beneath their feet, developing their skills, confidence and a sense of place. As a Whitegold Curator she has been responsible for producing the International Ceramics Prize which actively seeks out and celebrates artists and artist’s collectives who work in and with community. Whitegold is part of the Austell Project a broader regeneration scheme for the the region.

Katie enjoys working collaboratively with people from a wide range of disciplines, promoting creative dialogue and exchange through participatory projects.

Delighted to be working with @grayswharfstudios on Delighted to be working with @grayswharfstudios on MY JUBILEE - a fun community ceramic art project local to Penryn, Cornwall funded by #thenationallotterycommunityfund 
.
We're looking for people to take part in workshops in May/June so read on to find out more.
.
It's the Queen's 70th Jubilee and we're inviting local people aged over 70 to celebrate 'their jubilee'. Our aim is to make and exhibit 70 commemorative plates.
.
Join in with fun creative workshops in Penryn, share your stories and design your very own commemorative plate - perfect for serving up some festive treats or hanging on the wall if you’re feeling more formal.
.
If you are over 70, or know someone who is, and you live in or near Penryn, Cornwall and would like to take part then please get in touch. No experience needed. 
.
All the plates will be professionally fired and exhibited later in the summer and afterwards all participants will be able to take their plate home.
.

Day 2 of the #badartfestival with third year graph Day 2 of the #badartfestival with third year graphic design students @falmouthuni unwinding from the stress of final hand in.

Day one of the #badartfestival with @graphicdesign Day one of the #badartfestival with @graphicdesignfalmouth students enjoying a well earned break, decompressing and destressing after their final year hand in. A day trip to St Ives soaking up the 20th century collection at the Tate and wandering around Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture garden supplied some inspiration for a relaxed day of drawing, mark making, printmaking, 3D modelling, sewing and collage. We finished up with a giant collaborative drawing. Tomorrow we’re gonna transform it into a giant mobile, we think…

Fun creative activities delivered by @grayswharfstudios @kittyhillier and @_katiebunnell_

Delighted by a speedy spontaneous visit to The Box Delighted by a speedy spontaneous visit to The Box in Plymouth today. Here’s an eclectic mix of things that caught my eye:
1. Ships figureheads: a gang of imposing yet benign protectors.

2. ‘Cage for the Head’ one of 3 masks made by Jeffrey Gibson using porcupine quills amongst other found natural materials, and part of ‘Another Crossing’, an exhibition curated by Glenn Adamson. Adamson commissioned artists to revisit the Mayflower crossing and all the complex implications of colonisation and destruction of indigenous people that conjures, and to make pieces only using technologies that were available in 1620. 

3. Heidi Aklaseaq Senungetuk, Wood, water and distance’ which uses caribou sinew. Also part of Another Crossing.

4. Staffordshire flat back figurine-a wee man with a giant lamb🥰
5. Imported Chinese chinoiserie bowl-just love that sinewy blue tree! Both from the wider collection.

And from the exhibition across the plaza in Breaking the Mould: Sculpture by Women since 1945:
6. Kathy de Monchaux, ‘Ferment’, lead, velvet and steel. So visceral! 
7. Eva Rothschild, ‘Your Weakness’, ebony, oak and paint. Very strict…
8. A gravity defying steel girder being held to rights. Dunno who made that, but it’s phenomenal.
9. And a splendid handmade model of Plymouth City Centre, the epitome of postwar future thinking.

A material feast.
