About the Artist

Kin Leung is a London-based ceramicist with a background in digital design. His turn to ceramics was prompted by a desire to transform his creativity into something tangible. 

Kin creates wheel-thrown functional ware. His pieces are intended to be used and he believes that in being used, the objects can become more beautiful. Inspired by Japanese aesthetics, Kin's work embraces the concept of Wabi Sabi and how it manifests in handcrafted objects. Focusing on simplicity, elegance and tranquility, Kin begins with simple and classic shapes and forms, adding touches of modern design that elevate and bring a unique quality to each piece. Kin works in stoneware because he enjoys the range of earthy tones that it creates and the varying effects that occur when they react with glazes. Kin uses overlaying techniques with different glazes which results in surprising effects on the surfaces of his pieces.
