We are pleased to introduce the ceramist we are collaborating with for our upcoming tea tastings, beginning at the end of May.
Their work reflects a quiet sensitivity to form and material, with each piece thoughtfully made to be used and experienced.
Here we share a selection of previous works as an introduction, ahead of the pieces they are creating for us, which we look forward to sharing soon.
