About StudioKinkou

StudioKinkou

Hand built ceramics inspired by traditional Japanese techniques and folklore.

I am a self taught ceramicist, lucky enough to now work from my own studio situated in a converted stable in rural Leicestershire. It's a special space that I love and spend most days in there researching folklore, experimenting with shapes and forms and hopefully creating some beautiful and unusual ceramics.

My journey to this point started with a 25 year career as a tattoo artist, which was my initial introduction to Japanese art and culture, and my ceramic work was a hobby that ran alongside tattooing until I was able to concentrate more on the ceramic side and finally open my own studio.
Alongside my own work, I run workshops and drop in sessions to introduce the traditional skills I've grown so fond of and also to provide a space for people to come and experiment in which ever style they choose.
