ABOUT THE ARTIST

Katy Waite grad­u­ated from Edin­burgh School of Art in 1973, with a BFA in ceram­ics and stained glass. She won an Andrew Grant Award for a fur­ther year of study and travel dur­ing which time she researched and pho­tographed many stained glass win­dows in Europe. She went on to win a National Award for her exper­i­men­tal stained glass work. She sub­se­quently worked in a com­mer­cial stained glass stu­dio in Ger­many where she worked on major com­mis­sions and win­dow restora­tion projects.
Over the years she has worked both in the UK and New Zealand as an art teacher, pot­ter and stained glass artist con­tin­u­ing to pur­sue explo­ration of mixed media art. She has com­pleted major archi­tec­tural glass com­mis­sions in both coun­tries.
Her stu­dio and gallery is part of Antiques on Main.
