Catherine Hammerton
Made of Place: In the Studio with Paper Sculptor Catherine Hammerton.
There is a quiet, powerful word in Welsh that doesn’t quite have a direct English translation: Hiraeth. It describes a deep longing for home, a connection to the landscape, and a collective sense of belonging. For our 2026 Artist in Residence, Catherine Hammerton, this feeling sits right at the heart of her breathtaking paper artistry.
