Marion Bay Cray

I’m lucky enough to know Katherine through both work and life — our paths seem to keep crossing in the best ways. We actually first met at university, where I stole her room in Star Street, and these days we mostly share stories about children, creativity, and the juggle of art and life.

Based in Marion Bay, Katherine creates beautiful slow-made work inspired by the Tasmanian landscape, changing seasons, and traditional craft practices. There’s such warmth and intention behind everything she makes — thoughtful pieces that celebrate handmade processes, beautiful natural materials, and a slower pace of living. Her passion for creativity also extends into the wonderful art workshops she runs for both children and adults, creating gentle and welcoming spaces for people to connect through making.
