Catalin Filip

designer and maker

Saint Leonards, England

Cătălin Filip (b. 1989) is a Romanian-born, UK-based artist and designer working primarily with ceramics. A self-taught ceramicist, he uses an intuitive, experimental approach, developing unique techniques through trial and error. His sculptural works draw inspiration from the organic movement and distortions of the natural world. With a background in architecture, he merges artistic expression with functional design.

Sustainability is an integral part of my practice. I work in small batches, using locally sourced and reclaimed materials where possible, and I strive to minimise waste throughout the making process. My experimental approach often involves repurposing failed pieces or testing new methods to reduce energy consumption in firing. I see sustainability not as a constraint but as a catalyst for creativity—shaping both the material and conceptual direction of my work.
