About the Artist
For nearly two decades, Heather Knight has built a distinctive body of work around an instinctive understanding of form, texture, and composition.
She founded Element Clay Studio in Asheville, North Carolina, in 2007, and now works from her studio in Savannah, Georgia. What began as a love of ceramics has evolved into a broader creative practice spanning sculptural objects, collectible works, and large-scale installations for residential and commercial interiors.
Nature remains an enduring influence. Botanical structures, coral, stone, repetition, growth, and natural geometry are distilled into forms that feel at once organic and architectural. Working primarily in porcelain and stoneware, Heather builds every piece individually by hand, allowing subtle variations in material and process to become part of the work.
But the individual object is only part of the story.
Heather's work is equally concerned with how objects inhabit space, with scale, proportion, rhythm, negative space, and the way a carefully considered composition can change the character of a room. Her installations bring these ideas together, transforming individual sculptural forms into larger environments of movement, texture, and shadow.
This point of view extends beyond any single material or collection. At the center of Heather's practice is an interest in creating and curating objects with presence: pieces that make a space feel considered, personal, and distinctive.
Her work has been collected internationally and featured in design projects, exhibitions, and publications, while Element Clay Studio continues to evolve as an expression of her broader creative perspective.
The work may begin with clay, but what makes it distinctive is the eye behind it.
