After graduating from Central Saint Martins, Reiko designed a range of products that were manufactured around the world. However, it was the joy of working with the ceramicists of The Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent, and tapping into over two centuries of knowledge in fine bone china production that led her to concentrate on ceramics.

Reiko spent her childhood in Japan and still makes frequent visits. Japan has not only been an inspiration for the elegant simplicity to which she strives but the key to her appreciation of craft and craftsmanship. Reiko now works from her London-based studio, where she crafts one-off pieces and limited-edition ceramics.
