Instructor Bio:
Kat’s love for ceramics began years ago in her small kitchen in Honolulu, where she was inspired by her friend’s pieces and her own early attempts at creating teacups and trinket dishes. What started as a simple hobby soon grew into a significant part of her life, leading her to eventually take classes in Hawai’i, the UK, and Türkiye. Through these experiences, Kat has refined her techniques and gained insight into the cultural significance of the craft. Her approach to ceramics now combines a technical skillset with a deep appreciation for the medium’s heritage. Since relocating to San Francisco, she teaches wheel throwing and hand-building classes, allowing her to immerse herself daily in what she loves.
