Katherine Cox is a ceramic artist currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of Art, Art History & Design. She received her B.F.A. in ceramics from California State University Long Beach. Her undergraduate studies include many different influences from various workshops in California, as well as attending the Ceramics Biennale in South Korea, participating in building a kiln in Italy and attending the Venice Biennale. These experiences have allowed her to be involved with many different ceramic projects and art making techniques including a wide array of fiber arts and performance sculpture.

Once she received her B.F.A., Cox continued working as a Post-Baccalaureate at Cal State Long Beach, along with assisting a CSULB faculty member on several performance sculpture installations creating a demanding and gratifying year.

Cox's current work explores wheel thrown pottery forms exclusively made of porcelain and inspired by the simplicity of mid-century modern aesthetics, particularly as it relates to shape. She engages the surface of these pots in a growing variety of ways while also exploring what it means to be a crafter and how she might contextualize what she creates in regard to a 21st Century audience.
