Amrita Marian Karunaratne

She attended the Cora Abraham's Art classes in Colombo to follow a course in painting.
In 1989 she left to study ceramic design at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland.
In 1991 she received her Bachelor of Design from the Irish National Council for Educational Awards.

Since 1997 she lives and works in her own studio in Hoorn, the Netherlands.

Her thrown vessels are simple and bulbous in form. She applies a fine slip called terrasigillata on the surfaces of these forms. This is to emphasize the rich variety of colours and it's fine satin finish of terrasigillata. All the vessels are sagger fired.
She uses a variety of organic materials such as wood shavings and sawdust in her sagger firings.
