Catherine White

I live and work in the rolling hills of Virginia one hour west of Washington, DC. I am committed to making objects both artistic and usable. I love the metamorphosis of clay from dust to mud to rock via the collaboration of hand, clay, fire, and use. In my studio life I engage in a mix of writing, drawing, and making pottery as a means for expression. In recent years I have been using more found clays and other raw materials. With each cycle of work there are alterations to the approaches used in making and in firing/cooling atmospheres in both our wood-fired anagama and gas-fired kilns. Usually working independently—with endless cooperation—I share the studio with my husband and fellow maker, Warren Frederick.

 

Events

OUR LAST EIGHT ONLINE EXHIBITS are available for viewing Catherine White + Warren Frederick  

I will be at POTTERY on the HILL 2024  in Washington, DC Friday, November 15 through Sunday, November 17. Friday evening is a ticketed preview reception from 6:30 - 8:30 [tickets are $40], Saturday and Sunday are free; Saturday 10 am to 5 pm; Sunday 11 am to 4pm.

I was interviewed by Ben Carter for his podcast Tales of a Red Clay Rambler. We talked about my monoprints using ash and other materials in the anagama: Episode 486: Monoprinting With Wood Ash

I enjoyed teaching a 5-day Demo/Workshop at the Alison Palmer Studio in South Kent, Connecticut, in October (2023).

Woodfire NC  2022 at STARworks in Star, NC happened in May 2022. I organized a panel called The Thread You Follow with Linda Christianson, Naomi Dalglish and Lindsay Oesterritter. Part of our discussion can be heard on the Red Clay Rambler interview mentioned above. I also installed and am continuing to exhibit the painted panels I made using North Carolina clays during my short winter residency at STARworks. 

Visits to our studio and gallery may be made by appointment.
