Florian Gadsby is a ceramicist based in London who has been making functional ceramics for the past six years. Making both individual one-off vessels and groups of pots, he complements their simple forms with delicate glazes which have crystalline structures. Having been an apprentice to Lisa Hammond MBE for three years and Ken Matsuzaki in Mashiko, Japan, Florian has learned thoroughly how to throw with efficiency and skill, constantly striving for sensibility and functionality in his work.
