Potter, designer and materials researcher based in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Moving toward less extractive, lower carbon ways of designing, making and building things.
I believe that the most interesting work happens at the intersections—between art and science, craft and industry, design and engineering.
Painting, researching, throwing, teaching, 3D printing - I am not interested in ‘staying in my lane’.
I enjoy big challenging problems and fresh ideas.

Bio & CV
Chris Crawford is a potter, designer, and materials researcher based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Over a decade in pottery, he has met people from all kinds of backgrounds, solving problems in creative and unconventional ways. This has strengthened his belief that the most interesting work happens at the intersections—between art and science, craft and industry, design and engineering. He aims to work in this collaborative, cross-disciplinary way as he explores sources of clay and ways of making beyond traditional ceramics.
