Phil Rogers Author

Phil Rogers was one of Britain’s leading potters and advocates for his craft. From his studio near Rhayader in Powys, Wales, he created work that drew on eclectic styles, from medieval German salt-glazed wares to 15th-century Korean porcelain. A passionate promoter of the use of natural materials in glazes, he is widely regarded as one of the giants of UK ceramics. His work is held by museums around the world, including the V&A, the British Museum and the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art in Japan. Hajeong Lee Rogers grew up in South Korea where she later studied crafts at Sungshin Women’s University and quickly became attached to the ceramics department. She won the National Award for Craft Art for one of her large ceramic sculptures in 2005. In 2011, she moved to Wales to be with her husband Phil Rogers where she started working in her own studio, making tableware with a fusion of traditional Korean techniques and patterns influenced by William Morris. Her work is included in the Reeves Collection, Washington and Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
