Iceland Sketches

A collection for Flow

Katie Spragg

"I witnessed different plants appear and bloom in the landscapes I explored. Working from photos and drawings, as well as clay studies, I hand-model these plants. Most leaves and petals are made in the palm of my hand, using porcelain."

Katie Spragg is a British Ceramic Artist. Spragg creates exquisitely delicate porcelain sculptures, made up of hand-modelled plants. Each sculpture connects to a particular locality, where Spragg has studied native plants and re-imagined them through clay.

Flow are currently showcasing a series of three pieces inspired by Spragg’s residency in Iceland in June 2022. Over the two weeks she was there, she witnessed different plants appear and bloom in the landscapes she explored - against the backdrop of the constantly shifting Icelandic light and weather. Holtasóley is Iceland's national flower, Lambagras (lambs grass) grows in the barren volcanic tundra or scrubby grass, whilst Icelandic poppies are found growing between rocks on the seashore.
