Biography
I am a ceramic artist, an architect and a researcher.
My Fellowship took me to the Netherlands, Hungary and the USA researching the application and manufacturing of decorative architectural ceramics.
On my return, I have undertaken a PhD research that derived directly from my Fellowship. My research focuses on the design, craft making and manufacture of architectural ceramics, aiming to contribute to the design of convivial urban spaces in the UK.

March 2023 Fellow's update: Maria Gasparian
Ceramic artist, Maria Gasparian (CF 2016) has been commissioned by Wandsworth Borough Council to create public artwork for a new housing development in Battersea. Maria's artwork is inspired by the legacy of Jesse and Henry Rust Victorian mosaic manufacturers, who produced colourful vitreous mosaics in Battersea and lived on Randall Street, which is now the Surrey Lane Estate. Maria says she hopes the artwork will bring vibrancy and fun to the outdoor spaces.
