She works almost exclusively with porcelain and her work is widely recognized for its striking combination of modern esthetic with textures, patterns and shapes inspired by nature. Knight received her BFA from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in 2006. After serving as a resident artist and instructor at Odyssey Center for the Ceramic Arts in Asheville, she held a teaching position at the Greenville County Museum of Art in South Carolina. Knight opened the doors to her studio, Element, in 2007 in Asheville, North Carolina, and has focused on her art full-time ever since, elevating her body of work into an internationally sought after brand. Her art has been exhibited nationwide, as well as in France, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Dubai. Knight and her art have been featured on The Nate Berkus Show, as well as in many publications including Interior Design Magazine, House Beautiful, Coastal Living, Portland Spaces, Charleston Home, American Craft and Bon Appetit. In spite of the rapid growth of her business, Knight has stayed true to the handmade nature of her art and considers it an integral part of her process. She uses zero means of mass production, creating each piece from conception completely by hand. An active member of its vibrant and eclectic artist community, Knight has called Asheville, North Carolina, home for nearly 15 years. Her Husband Mike joined the studio business in September 2012, and their son, Caleb is now also a regular fixture. Her studio and showroom, Element Ceramics, is located on Depot St. in Asheville's River Arts District. ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Heather Knight | | Address | 362 Depot St. Suite 101, Asheville, North Carolina 28801, United States | | Phone | (828) 275-8279 | | Website | http://www.elementclaystudio.com | | Followers on Houzz | 124 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/Elementclaystudio - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/elementclay - Blog — http://elementclaystudio.blogspot.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Heather Knight](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/artists-and-artisans/heather-knight-pfvwus-pf~2080454605) - **Website:** http://www.elementclaystudio.com - **Phone:** (828) 275-8279 ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 4 reviews** ### All 4 reviews **★★★★★ — jmdonovan, March 2012** > As a clay artist myself, I was immediately impressed by Heather's work when I found her clay art on Etsy. She shows a wonderful spirit of imagination, and great hand and eye skills. I like the way she combines unglazed porcelain textures with a pastel-glazed inner bowl. This kind of artwork requires tremendous patience to create. Heather truly loves her craft. I am now a proud owner of one of her pieces. **★★★★★ — Silver Magpies, March 2012** > Heather's ceramics are simply exquisite. I have a large collection of her clam and scallop bowls, and am now working on her geode collection. Every time I think I have enough, she comes out with another amazing shape or mouthwatering glaze. Each time I entertain or use one of her pieces in a blog post they are a highlight. > > Dealing with her staff is a joy. Pieces are shipped quickly and packed impeccably to survive the trip through the postal service unscathed. **★★★★★ — From The Ground Up, Aug. 2011** > This is some of the best ceramic work I have ever seen! Not many artists can capture the random perfect imperfection of nature but this is one who does! Exciting objects for your home that have heart. **★★★★★ — Becky Harris, June 2011** > I have been collecting Heather's pieces for several years now and I am so excited to see her on Houzz! Just when I think she cannot come up with anything more beautiful than what she's already done, she creates something new that blows my mind. ## Selected projects - [Element Clay Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/element-clay-studio-pj-vj~15220) - Location: Asheville, NC - Photos: 18 [See all 1 project](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/artists-and-artisans/heather-knight-pfvwus-pf~2080454605) ## Ideabooks - [Our New Studio](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6669963/list/our-new-studio) — 5 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/elementclaystudio) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the paint colour?
