About

Each piece of clay is rolled, pinched, coiled, painted and glazed by me, Helen Pik-Yan French.

I’ve been working with ceramics since 2019, when I first picked up clay in an evening class to make a wonky pineapple vase. Many hours of therapeutic practice later, I’m still honing my craft from a communal studio in East London, producing small batches of functional everyday items.

All my pieces are hand-built (without a potter’s wheel), using slab and coiling techniques. I like to incorporate bright glazes and playful patterns, hoping to bring a moment of joy and unexpectedness to the daily routines of life. I hope you enjoy them!
