Kate Lyons Miller creates vessels that embody a deep connection to place, inspired by the geology, mineralogy, ecology, and human history of Dartmoor.

Kate incorporates clays and minerals collected during her walks into the surfaces and clay bodies of her vessels, embedding the essence of Dartmoor directly into her work. These inclusions create tactile and visual narratives that map her relationship with the environment.

For Kate, each ceramic piece is "history in the hand," capturing the layers of time and memory held within the earth and offering a tangible connection to the natural world.
