Katharine Colerman has a vase in our permanent collection depicting ginkgo leaves. Perhaps best known for her copper wheel glass engraving, a challenging technique where the glass is held up to the rotating cutting wheel rather than holding the tool to the glass, Katharine’s work has been exhibited widely in in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Japan and can be seen in many public collections including Corning Museum of Glass USA, the V&A in London and the Museum of Modern Glass at Coburg in Germany. She was awarded an MBE for services to glass engraving in 2009.
Trained in copper wheel glass engraving by Peter Dreiser in 1984-7 at Morley College London, Katharine likes to explore the optical properties of glass, to draw the eye beyond the surface, creating illusions of one body floating within another. The rigour and refinement of Japanese design and Japanese respect for natural, ordinary objects continue to inspire her work. She also prefers traditional techniques; lathe-mounted copper, diamond and stone wheels obtain the crispness, textures and fine finish, so much more difficult to achieve with sandblast and drill.
This video, made by Anthony Scala, shows her working on a piece depicting ginkgo leaves and fruit. Nature in Art has a ginkgo tree in its garden and several other items in its collection inspired by the same subject.
