“People connect
with people.”

Kate Wauchope  /  Adelaide Hills

Made by hand,
with soul

The vows. The first dance. The place card slipped into a coat pocket. I paint them by hand, so you keep them for good.

Every line is drawn once, and meant.

No copies. No templates. No shortcuts.

The studio

Six ways in

It all starts with a nib, a brush and the hills outside my window.

01

Hand Painted Illustrations

For people who refuse to look like everyone else. I draw the thing only you could own. By hand, pencil first, ink last.

Wedding & Event Stationery

Your invitations set the tone before anyone arrives. I paint them around your flowers, your venue, your story. No two are alike.

Live Event Art

I set up easel and ink at your event. I paint you and your guests as the night unfolds. You leave with a keepsake, made live.

Graphic Design

Branding, logos, packaging, print and digital. The commercial side of the studio, made by the same hand as everything else. Built to set you apart.

Creative Workshops

Spend an afternoon making something with your own hands. Ink, wine, good company, in a place worth the drive. You take home what you paint.

The Studio Shop

Take a piece of the studio home. Real prints on good paper, painted with the same care as any commission. For your wall, not your screen.

About

The hand behind
every line

I believe the things worth keeping are the ones a person actually touched. So I work slowly, on purpose. No team. No templates. Just me, painting the way I have since I was small, in dip pen, ink and watercolour.

I have painted live for Tasting Australia. I drew the Sporting Collection wine labels. I turned scent into ink for SIUNO Fragrances. Different rooms, one hand, one reason: to leave behind what a machine never can.

Walk the grounds at Glen Ewin. Forage for figs, seed pods, whatever the season leaves behind. Then sit down and paint it with me, in dip pen, ink and watercolour.

About

Hello, I'm Kate

← Back to home
Kate Wauchope

One pen. One pair of hands. And a stubborn belief that the best things are still made slowly, by hand.

I am CAW Creative. There is no team behind the curtain, no template quietly doing the work. Just me, drawing the way I have since before I can remember, in the hills outside Adelaide.

I work in dip pen, ink and watercolour. The slow way, on purpose. A line drawn by hand carries something a perfect vector never will.

My world is the natural one. Figs and wattle, poppies and orchids, a leaping zebra, a swan. The small living things most people walk past. I study them closely and draw them honestly.

I have painted live for Tasting Australia. I drew the Sporting Collection wine labels. I spent a day at Glen Ewin turning scent into ink for SIUNO Fragrances. Different briefs, one hand, one intention.

A wedding suite. A commission. A morning of ink in the orchard. Whatever I make, it carries the one thing a machine never can. A human hand, and a little bit of soul.

Graphic design, made by hand

Branding, labels, packaging, menus and print. The commercial side of the studio, drawn with the same pen and the same eye as the artwork. Built to set you apart, never pulled off a template.

Brand identity

Hardy's Brasserie and Wine Bar

A full identity for a Hills brasserie. Logo, menus, signage and stationery, all hand drawn and set by hand, so the brand feels grown from the place rather than stamped onto it.

Labels and packaging

Wine, gin and ale, dressed by hand

Labels that earn a second look on the shelf. Gatehouse wines, Griffin Ale, a fig gin and aperitif, each one drawn for the story inside the bottle.
