Studio Visit: Katherine Jones RA

At Once we work with a different artist each season on a series of limited edition pieces. From January to April 2026 we are very lucky to have the work of artist Katherine Jones RA on our walls.

Katherine is an established contemporary artist known for her printmaking, which she combines with painting to create beautiful works of art that are perfect for a gallery, studio or home. After a bumper busy year, Katherine’s work has been shown by galleries and institutions across London, New York, Glasgow, Seoul and Trondheim, Norway, so we are thrilled to have these in our corner of South West London. We loved meeting Katherine in her Dulwich studio and chatting over tea and biscuits about art schools, printmaking and, of course, potters.

Her work is an interesting balance of vulnerability and strength; she often looks to perceptions of safety and danger, using archetypal yet relatable motifs such as a house, flowers, sun or tree. The works we have at Once all have a definite relationship to nature and a clever use of colour (as, we hope, our pots do too). Rainbow Seed is a joyful, seemingly simple print showing colour from darkness, Mass is a mixture of organic forms and earthy colours and High Chicken Legs shows a woodland house on stilts which relates to the mythical female figure Baba Yaga, of Russian folklore. We also have the very beautiful Dark Petal Globe, which is flower-like in an abstract way, again with subtle colours that are calm and natural. The prints are available online and at our East Sheen Gallery.

A bit more about Katherine Jones: Katherine was elected as a Royal Academician in 2022 and her work is held in public collections including the V&A Prints And Drawings Collection, The Ashmolean Museum, Yale University Library and The House Of Lords. She is currently a visiting lecturer in Fine Art Printmaking at universities and colleges across the United Kingdom and Europe.
