Exhibition 6th-21st December 2025 & 13th-27th January 2026

We are delighted to welcome new artist Katie Mawson to Glasshouse Contemporary with her solo exhibition 'Uncovered'.

Katie’s tactile artworks are created from her ever-growing collection of vintage cloth bound books - often found discarded in charity shops. These faded covers, marked through time, carry a life already etched upon their surface. Their colours and textures form her palette and canvas as she slices, rips and skins these cloths from their board - deconstructing to reconstruct something new. 

As an artist, Katie’s life and practice centres around the sense of touch. Materiality and surface deeply connected to her visual experience of the world. Based in the Lake District, Katie formerly trained as a textile designer and runs her own successful knitwear business. She wild swims at sunrise throughout the year - this immersion and connection to the natural world continually informing her work.
