THINKING HANDS
Kate Malone and her team re-create in Jaipur her Balls Pond Studio from London, allowing visitors the opportunity to experience her practice and process in the most fulfilling way.
The artist and her thought process become the installation. A ‘live’ studio allows Kate to produce work without compromising her method and staying true to a practice that has been refined over decades spent at the pinnacle of the international ceramics world. Community projects, short courses as well as an ability to shadow members of Kate’s team, will allow audiences to be part of her London studio experience. Accessibility is key to her vision and by working with the team she has built up over ten years her process will be illuminated, culminating in finished pieces that exemplify not only excellence of technique but best working practice in a unified and productive studio. In addition to the ‘live’ studio, Kate displays miniatures from her personal collection as well as works by Miray Mehmet, Anna Barlow and Mary O’Malley from the Balls Pond Studio for a limited period of the Triennale.
