Graham Hudson produces a range of high fired terracotta functional and decorative tableware with an emphasis on the exploration of materials, process and craftsmanship, this is informed by a variety of sources including early industrial tea‑wares and country pottery. Pieces are intended to be clean and contemporary but with a nod to their historical counterparts.
In addition to making his own pieces Graham produces ceramic items, models and moulds for a number of clients including Benjamin Hubert & Viaduct furniture.
