Hugh is an Australian Ceramics Artist, based in New York. He started his journey in studio ceramics in 2002 during a university exchange program in Japan. He was accepted into a study abroad program at Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka and studied under a great pottery teacher, Inomata Sensei.

He has a passion for making utilitarian pieces that feel good and help the user relate to what they are doing. Whether it is drinking water or enjoying a meal, the time spent doing this can be much more pleasurable and meaningful when using something that was handcrafted. This is true for most things in our life.

The signature he uses is the Japanese character for wind. "Hugh" has the same sound as the word (onomatopoeia) used for wind.
