The Kitchen Gallery
 

Katie Downs

I make individually hand made ceramic containers and buttons made from porcelain. Lace is used to decorate the containers using various techniques. The containers are intended as bedroom / boudoir dressing table furniture accessories, they are designed to please the eye and hold items precious to the owner. I also make buttons of different shapes and sizes. The buttons are displayed and mounted on old sewing materials and Victorian photographs. The buttons on the cards could be kept as beautiful objects in them selves or the button could be actually used on a garment. My desire is to create a feeling of delicacy and preciousness from my work.
