The  M A N I F E S T O  Story

Handcrafted in Glasgow

Working from her garden studio in South Glasgow, Katie Rose Johnston crafts small batch, sculptural ceramics that are influenced by the natural world that she encounters everyday. Fascinated by prehistoric artefacts and the raw, windswept landscape of her birthplace, Shetland, as well as the tactile, ancient process of hand building stoneware clay; every M A N I F E S T O product is a completely unique, functional artwork that aims to bring the rustic beauty of nature into the modern home.
