Catharina continues to explore non-traditional ways of working with ceramic materials and forms. Her work often uses small batches of custom clays that are enriched with a selection of organic and inorganic additions. Mixing alternate materials and post-firing treatment of the surface enhance the unusual texture and earthiness of the material. Oxides, glaze rubs and gold luster provide depths of colour in the multi-fire process at temperatures that range from 700 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
