Katharine Watson

honoring + passing the craft from her own home to yours

Katharine studied printmaking formally at Kenyon College and began to appreciate the art form as a way to bring her designs to everyday goods. After graduating, she relocated to Washington D.C. where Katharine accepted an internship at The Textile Museum. Soon thereafter, she launched her eponymous brand from her one-bedroom apartment. She and her husband, Joe now reside in Portland, Maine where a converted barn behind the family home serves as headquarters to her business + studio space. Katherine approaches most projects the same way, beginning with a sketch that is translated into a linoleum block and then carved by hand. She later prints these designs onto stationery, textiles, ceramics, and other everyday goods. Katharine demonstrates her love for the important traditions of printmaking through persistent experimentation within the form.
