Welcome to Kay Aplin's website

For 25 years Kay Aplin has been forging a successful career in architectural ceramics. During this time she has had many commissions around the UK and internationally, producing a distinct range of public realm art works that have stood the tests of weather and time. Kay also creates large-scale ceramic installations for galleries and commissions for interiors and gardens.

Since 2011, with the creation of The Ceramic House, Kay has been establishing herself as a curator of contemporary ceramics with annual international exhibitions.

“Kay Aplin is rapidly establishing herself as one of the most energetic and active ceramic artists in the UK. She is becoming more and more known for her innovative Ceramic House, and her current work is expanding into areas of curation and initiation of new ceramic events and exhibitions in the wider visual arts world. This is feeding into her own work which has always been dynamic, totally original, full of colour, ambitious and delightfully idiosyncratic.”
Sandy Brown

THE CERAMIC HOUSE

ceramic

The Ceramic House is Kay Aplin’s award-winning home and a living showcase of her work. It is also a gallery, an artists’ residency, a guesthouse, and a venue for a variety of events. The new project space In Camera is a centre for collaborations between ceramics and sound. See www.theceramichouse.co.uk and www.incameragallery.uk for current and archive projects.

FIRE AND WATER

Fire and Water is a continuation of Kay Aplin’s investigation into micro-flora which has been the focus of her practice since 2013 and builds on her cross disciplinary collaboration with sound artist Joseph Young.

Kay uses a digital microscope to magnify micro flora as the basis for her tile-based designs, whilst Joseph utilises binaural recording techniques to produce immersive soundscapes.
