Heather Knight

Quick Facts

Years as an artist

10 years professionally, but have had my hands in clay for 25 years.
Main clay body
Helios Porcelain
Primary clay building method
I hand build most of my work. Slabs and pinch pots serve as the base for my textures. I then hand sculpt each textural element.
Favorite studio tool
Chopsticks are my best friend – I use them for so many things!
Clay wishes or dreams
I think my biggest wish is to be able to keep making new work. I would love to get to a point where I could have the freedom to do more large installations and one-of-a-kind pieces.

Artist Statement

Heather Knight opened Element Clay Studio in Asheville, NC in the summer of 2007 as a way to supplement her income in between teaching sessions at the local museum. Interior Design magazine contacted her late that year, and by May 2008, she resigned from her teaching position to pursue Element Clay Studio full time. Her studio is now based out of her home in Savannah, GA. The studio was originally designed by artist Julio Garcia titled "The Savannah Project" and is made from recycled shipping containers.

Though the business has grown greatly in the last eight years, the backbone of the studio has remained the same. Heather is committed to remaining a craft based business, and all of the  porcelain dishes, tiles, vases and decorative objects are 100% handmade and don't use any means of mass production. Adhering to these values allows Element Clay Studio to continue to produce only the finest, heirloom quality work. 

As a small, family run company, we pride ourselves in providing you with not only handmade, gallery quality work, but excellent customer service that exceeds your expectations. We hope to bring a little luxury to your life, and provide you with things you will love and cherish for a lifetime.

In September 2012, Heather's husband Mike Dale has joined her in the studio, assisting with administrative duties, client communication, graphic design, marketing, shipping and various studio tasks. Mike has a background in visual arts; holding a BA in Art from West Virginia State University, a 17-year career in marketing and graphic design, and is an accomplished printmaker as well. He is a great addition to the studio and helps make sure that all the details are taken care of.
