A passionate promoter of the use of natural materials in glazes, he is widely regarded as one of the giants of UK ceramics. His work is held by museums around the world, including the V&A, the British Museum and the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art in Japan.Hajeong Lee Rogers grew up in South Korea where she later studied crafts at Sungshin Women's University and won the National Award for Craft Art in 2005 for a large ceramic sculpture. Hajeong joined her husband Phil Rogers in Wales in 2011 and started working in her own studio, making tableware with a fusion of traditional Korean techniques and patterns influenced by William Morris. Her work is included in the Reeves Collection, Washington and Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
