Katie Timson

Katie enjoys walking and collects all manner of interesting or beautiful objects, such as feathers, fragments of bird’s eggshells, rocks, pebbles, seaglass and seed heads whilst doing so. Their natural patterns, colours and texture provide inspiration for her collections of ceramic vessels and jewellery which record walks through different landscapes. 



Katie’s porcelain eggshell jewellery is based on the eggs of individual British birds. The porcelain is stained to match the colour of the eggs and after being rolled into shape, the markings are carefully hand painted onto the eggs. After a final firing at 1240°c, 14ct gold filled and sterling silver findings are added. 

We have more work by this designer, including one-off pieces, available exclusively through our quaint Barbican Gallery in Plymouth.
