Reiko Kaneko is ceramicist, designer and educator based in London.
After graduating from Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design, she founded a creative studio in London in 2007. In 2012, with expansion of both knowledge and business scale in mind, she took the step to move to Stoke-on-Trent, the traditional home of industrial scale pottery manufacturing in Britain. The possibility of controlling all aspects of her studios output, from how everything was made to finessing all parts of the supply chain had great appeal. Reiko immersed herself in the fabric of what industry remained in the city; able to experiment and work in an environment rich with knowledge and understanding.
In 2017 she returned to London to build a garden studio and to work within the creative energy of the city again. Reiko is a passionate advocate of both creativity in education and industry. Her personal focus has been on developing the skills needed to be a thoughtful and productive creative practitioner.
