Emma Louise Payne is a ceramicist based in rural Oxfordshire. Since establishing her studio in 2017, she has collaborated with renowned architects and brands, including Red Deer, Simon Astridge, Paul Thomas, Birch Hotels, and Browns. Her work, known for its innovative approach, pushes the boundaries of material and design. In 2023, she launched Plane, a homeware range inspired by London’s Plane trees, and which is currently stocked in Heals. In 2024, she partnered with Gather Glass on Meld, a collection of sculptural mirrors and lights. This spring, she will open her West London atelier to connect her rural studio with city-based clients. Emma studied Ceramic Design at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, refining her craft through international residencies in Norway, China, and Denmark. Her practice embraces imperfection, celebrating the handmade process through slipcasting and unique glazes.
