Tristan Lathey currently works at the Ceramics Coop Studios in New Cross, London. His ceramics are intentionally colourful and quirky with a strong influence from Latin American arts. His main focus in recent years has been animals and he works to bring out individual characters by producing one off pieces of nature’s common and more exotic species.

Tristan mostly builds using the slab technique and using coloured underglazes fired to earthenware temperatures.
