About Catie Miller Ceramics

I’m Catie. I design, illustrate and make every piece from my home studio to send to stylish, eclectic shops around the world. My work is recognized by the bright colors and playful patterning. I use a method called slip transfers. What I love about the process of slip transfer is it combines my interests in drawing, printmaking, painting, and clay. By screen printing my own drawings on newsprint paper I can replicate complex designs while still keeping everything hand painted. I love the spontaneous transfer marks of the folds and wrinkles on the slip-covered paper as well as the misregistration of line and color, giving a glimpse into how it is made. Jewelry pieces are made from terracotta, which is fragile and takes a little extra care. It is recommended to wear earrings with stoppers on hooks to avoid them falling out of your ear as you move and shake throughout the day or night. Earring wires are 14k gold plated 925 sterling silver while the stud posts are surgical stainless steel. A shiny glaze covers the front of the earrings. The back of the earring is terracotta with a subtle pattern. Read their story
