Blue Mountains ceramicist Cathy Hicks creates sculptural ceramics that balance strength and refinement. Working in the mid-fire range, Cathy develops elegant, tactile forms—from candle sculptures to bowls and vessels—often leaving portions unglazed to reveal the clay body’s natural texture and warmth.

Her pieces feel simultaneously raw and resolved: earthy surfaces, quiet graphic markings, and silhouettes that hold space like small monuments. Designed to be lived with, her work brings a sense of grounded beauty to the everyday.
