Reiko's Practice

Reiko Kaneko is renowned for blending Japanese sensibilities with British ceramic heritage. Her early childhood in rural Japan, where nature deeply influenced her surroundings, combined with her training in Stoke-on-Trent, the UK’s pottery capital, shapes her multifaceted approach to design and making. This is evident in her contrasting choice of clays, glazing techniques, and fascination with food culture, demonstrated through collaborations with some of London’s finest chefs and restaurateurs.
