Richard Hanby
Richard makes interesting ceramic tiles for artistic and functional use.
Biography
Richard was originally inspired by the Islamic tiles found in southern Spain and Morocco, and started out in 2020 by trying to replicate these. He has since been influenced by mid-century motifs and is using these ideas to create his own designs. He is also currently experimenting with unpredictable glazes, in an attempt to make them sufficiently reproducible for use with tiles.
The finished surfaces are more than the sum of the individual tiles; repetition of simple elements, with the imperfection that handbuilding brings, can create a finish that appears almost organic when viewed as a whole.
Richard’s tiles are available by commission.
