Kathryn Margaret Holford led a remarkable life as an accomplished artist, sculptor, and award-winning international designer. Born on June 7, 1962, in Fen Ditton, Cambridge, England, Kathryn’s artistic journey began under the alias Katy Holford. Accepted to the RCA (Royal Academy of Arts), she demonstrated exceptional talent, earning recognition early in her career and was awarded the Rosenthal Young Designer of the Year Award in 1988. Later, in 2016 and at the peak of her career in glass, she changed direction and dedicated herself to fine art. This book is an illustration of what happened next.
