Exhibition of Ceramics by Painter Kate Sampson

Friday 3 April - Monday 4 May 2026 | The Old School Gallery, NE66 3NH

The Old School Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of ceramics by painter Kate Sampson.

'My ceramic work focuses on traditional wheel thrown forms which are brought to life with intricate hand illustrated decoration. I throw using stoneware, earthenware, or porcelain, working into the clay using an array of decorative materials and techniques including coloured slips, ceramic pencils, oxides, glazes, paper cut outs, wax resist, and sgraffito. Themes are centred around a joyous appreciation for the natural world and reflect my love of traditional folk art and historical craft. Based in rural Kent I work from my garden studio, taking seasonal inspiration from the native plants and wildlife surrounding me. All pieces are crafted and decorated by hand meaning no two are ever exactly the same.'

Admission is free.

Gallery Open Monday - Saturday 10am-5pm (Sunday 10am-4pm)

Gallery Cafe Open Monday - Saturday 10am-4pm (Sunday 10am-3pm)
