Grape Leaf Napkin Ring

Kass O’Brien is a West Palm Beach–based ceramic artist whose work captures the textures, movement, and elegance of the natural world. Trained at Cranbrook Academy, she has developed a signature style that transforms coastal botanicals—sea grapes, willow leaves, coral, barnacles, and anemones—into sculptural, functional pieces for the home. Her collections are deeply tactile, often three-dimensional, and imbued with a sense of organic rhythm that recalls Florida’s shoreline and the subtleties of light, water, and growth.

Celebrated in Galerie Magazine, Business of Home, and WPB Magazine, Kass’s ceramics are sought after by leading designers such as Celerie Kemble and cherished by collectors for their expressive balance of artistry and utility. She often says her work is memory-driven—rooted in childhood explorations along the shore and reimagined through clay. Each piece is handmade, a quiet study of nature’s forms, and an invitation to bring the beauty of the outdoors—whether a curling oak leaf or the sway of an anemone—into everyday life.
