Becky Mackenzie

Becky Mackenzie is a ceramic designer-maker working predominantly with porcelain and earthenware. Using throwing, casting and hand-building techniques, her ceramic vessels are tactile, minimal and elegant.

Becky studied at Central Saint Martin’s where she graduated with a first-class degree in Ceramic Design, and subsequently gained an MA in Fine Art Conservation. An appreciation of process and materials, inherent in conservation work, informs her current ceramic practice, which promotes curiosity and consideration of the materials used.

Becky has designed exclusive tableware collections for Designers Guild and Mint, and has created installations for Trafalgar Square (London), The Great Exhibition of the North, and Bloom Festival in York.
