.... Kate Mcdowell . We like everything about her art and her way of expressing herself. Never thought if was possible to create something so unique out of handbuilt porcelain. Sure to be one of the best things i have ever seen when it comes to this material. Kate studied at the ArtCenter in Carrboro, North Carolina and later at Portland Community College's Cascade campus and the Oregon College of Art and Craft's community education program. Also she studied flame-worked glass at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina , and participated in an artist residency at the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Maine. Here are the results. Have fun. MB
