Ray G Brown is a designer and maker of uncustomary crafted objects. His work explores the poetic qualities of materials - especially those which are often overlooked or discarded. He studied Furniture Making and Product Design at The Cass School of Art and Design, where he first developed his technique of forming ceramics with combustible cardboard moulds. He recently collaborated with the craftsmen of the historic Stoke-on-Trent pottery Royal Stafford, to create a slip-cast version of this characterful making process.
