I am a Craftsman and Ceramic Artist specialising in Architectural Ceramics

The Creators Series: Edinburgh Ceramic Workshop by Cro & Kow

Artist Feature

My work focuses on the play of light and shadow created by forms in the natural world and built environments. In-depth explorations of form, structure, texture, and colour inform each piece with qualities that create dynamic, soothing environments that reconnect us back to nature. 

By focusing on handcrafted processes— from the initial hand-drawn geometry and tool-making to extruding, casting, and hand-building techniques—the evolution of design and finished objects are created in a responsive and organic manner.

Whereas my previous practice was informed by Traditional designs in developing architectural screens, this new body of work uses an extruder method to explore hand-built architectural forms. 

I have over 15 years of experience working in a wide range of community and heritage projects, collaborations, and exhibited my works across UK, Viet Nam, India and China. I have completed an M.A in Visual Islamic and Traditional Arts from The Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Art/ University of Wales and recently completed an M.Sc in Material Practice from The University of Edinburgh.

My previous work is held in the permanent collection at the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, and in the private collection of HRH Prince of Wales.

Currently, I am based in Edinburgh working from the Edinburgh Ceramic Workshop.
