Charlotte Grinling is a local designer-maker who has lived in and worked in South London for 25 years. She studied at Central St Martins and the Royal College of Art and began her career as a textile designer. She then moved into design and colour forecasting for homewares, working with many of the major British retailers and manufacturers.

​

In parallel to running her own design consultancy, Charlotte was a lecturer on the Design BA at Goldsmiths for 20 years.

​

In 2013 Charlotte returned to her roots as a designer-maker. She now designs and makes hand-thrown ceramics; her aim is to make things that are simple, usable and beautiful.

​

Her longstanding experience of working with form, materials, colour and texture is evident in her work. Her key influences are modern Scandinavian and mid 20th century design.

​

Her work has been exhibited in both Bath and London
