The workshop was set up by sculptor and designer Julian Sainsbury in 2013 after he became disheartened with the restrictions of conventional mass manufacturing. Coming from a background as a successful sculptor, he was able to combine classical influences with a pared-back utilitarian style to create sculptural, functional objects.
Every piece we make, whether it is a plate, bowl or pestle and mortar, is shaped from raw clay with care and craftsmanship, leaving an imprint that only hand crafted pieces can have. They hold a story of tradition and skill and bring craftsmanship to your table.
John Julian is based in rural Wiltshire, U.K.
