Catherine paints with precious lustres, real gold, platinum and copper, along with others such as mother of pearl to achieve special effects. The pieces are all handmade and hand painted on a raku ivory crackle glaze, and are fired four times.

Catherine has exhibited widely and has work in the collection Adolf Egner European Ceramics since 1950. She lives and works with her husband the ceramicist Simon Rich in South Pembrokeshire.
