Kathryn Narrow was born in Philadelphia but left for Korea at 10 months old where she lived for 3 years. She followed this by years in Washington State, Idaho and then two years in Japan. Kathryn believes these formative years living with and among potters and pottery became a strong influence in her life. Perhaps her first trip even foretold her eventual career. She studied ceramics formally with Bill Daley and Petras Vaskeys at the Philadelphia College of Art. Following graduation, she became a production potter for 15 years, taught at several colleges & art centers and then became an arts administrator at The Clay Studio. Retirement has brought Kathryn full circle, to being a full time potter again. She is currently an instructor at The Clay Studio's School.

I attended Jacksonville University and Glassboro State College for my formal education from 1970 to 1976. I came to Wheaton Arts in Millville New Jersey after college in 1979 and have remained as a Potter in Residence since then. Working primarily with stoneware and porcelain clays, I make mostly functional pottery. I salt and wood fire in addition to gas fire reduction to finish all of my work. All pieces reach approximately 2400 degrees making every piece waterproof, food, dishwasher and microwave safe. I make pottery for everyday use, which is always functional and hopefully attractive. I subscribe to the philosophy that ?Form Follows Function? and work in the mindset of making pots that are both visually and functionally beautiful to my customers. The rituals of food and drink are my biggest influencers in being a potter. I also make many pots to compliment the environment of these activities. Inspiration for my work comes from Asian and Early European Ceramics and the American Art pottery movement. My studio is always open to visitors. I keep a constant group of interns, assistants and associates to offer them opportunities to develop their careers in a supportive creative environment. It?s a way of giving back for all that was given to me
