Luke Bishop / Ceramics


Ceramic Artist

London, England

    • Instagram

    Luke makes contemporary stoneware and porcelain vessels using a variety of traditional methods, including the potter’s wheel – his work often plays with and questions our typically held assumptions of what makes an object functional. His work is a study in contrasts combining contemporary, refined silhouettes and asymmetry with uneven, organic edges and textures. Blackware is high-fired to 1260C and largely unglazed allowing the full detail of the clay body to be revealed and contemplated.
