A love for clay.

Karen Bothmann is a ceramicist /potter based in the small rural town of Murwillumbah, in northern NSW, Australia. She began her clay journey in mid 2018 with the local potters group and now runs her own small ceramics studio and shop at M-Arts Precinct in Murwillumbah. Karen’s work is all hand built, one off and very unique ceramic pieces that have a functionality to use with an artistic, fun and organic aesthetic to it. Karen loves to explore new forms and glazes. Every piece she makes is a learning step towards the next. She is excited by the endless possibilities that making something out of a lump of clay can bring. Her creative process is very loose and organic and often starts with a shape in her mind that turns out to be a very different one when the piece is finished,which is how she prefers creating her unique pieces.
