Chris Crawford



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.
