About RANJ

Hello, I’m Ranjit Dhaliwal, a London-based ceramic artist.
My practice is influenced by the forms of modern European studio pottery, married with a bright colour palette that is inspired by my Indian heritage.

I am drawn to the humble nature of a craft that is based on making things from earth, dug from the ground, and the magical transformation that comes from subjecting it to intense heat. I feel a strong connection to our pottery tradition that goes back many millennia but still remains vital to the way we live now.

My work has been featured in The Guardian and The Observer

You can find me on the Crafts Council’s directory of makers

I firmly believe that art and craft should be accessible to all and enjoy teaching classes at my own studio and other studios around London
