Kate Carruthers


Braidwood Clayworks is potter and sculptor Michael Warner and painter and potter Kate Carruthers.

Kate is a landscape painter and ceramic artist whose work is inspired by the beautiful bushland around Braidwood. Michael is a potter and metal sculptor primarily creating works from steel.

Together, they established Braidwood Clayworks in 2018.

Michael began his journey in ceramics in 1999, studying in Japan for 18 months before moving to the Isle of Mull (off the West Coast of Scotland) to continue his pottery career where he ran a successful Gallery and Pottery studio for 10 years.

His goal with both his ceramics and sculpture work is to continue to develop his individual style and techniques whilst always challenging himself to balance form and function.
