Katrin Formosa started ceramics and mosaic as a hobby in 1983, whilst living in New York, where she lived until 1988. She moved back to Gozo and set up the Gozo Pottery Barn at the Ta’ Dbiegi Artisan Village in 1989, which she still operates today. Nowadays, she has a sustainable business, producing locally handmade products. Katrin is very creative and innovative in her designs and creates items which bear a local and folkloristic mark. She also creates artistic, abstract, one offs and gallery items which are exhibited at her studio within the Artisan Village. Her clientele includes both locals, as well as tourists. She also teaches pottery and mosaic at the Lifelong Learning Education Centre in Gozo and organises short ceramics and mosaic appreciation sessions for tourists at her studio, as well as pottery sessions for kids in summer.
