He lived in Scotland for three years to pursue a BA in Communication Design at the Glasgow School of Art, where he graduated in 2019. He has since moved fluidly between London, partly for the baked goods, and Sussex, where he keeps chickens.Hal’s photography practice has taken him around the world capturing people and places, with a keen interest in visual story telling. This has influenced his illustrative approach to surface decoration and the themes he explores within his ceramic pieces.Inspired by the V&A ceramics gallery, Sicilian antique shops and his Grandma Ann’s Sunday lunch tableware, Hal juxtaposes classical silhouettes with contemporary subject matters and decorative techniques. His work references film, history and culture, and occasionally testimonials from his own personal experiences.
