Ken Eastman<br />

Chatsworth Series No 3 Spring 2010 bone china 20.5 h x 26.7 w cms<br />

Born 1960 in Hertfordshire, Ken Eastman studied at Edinburgh College <strong>of</strong> Art (1979-83) and at the Royal<br />

College <strong>of</strong> Art, London (1984-87). He has won many prestigious awards in the field <strong>of</strong> ceramics and we<br />

have shown his work for over 20 years. In 2006, Ken Eastman was invited to work in collaboration with<br />

the Royal Crown Derby factory. This body <strong>of</strong> bone china pieces combined Ken’s contemporary forms and<br />

the classic Derby patterns that have been in production since 1750. <strong>The</strong> launch <strong>of</strong> the Royal Crown Derby<br />

series at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> in 2009 was a huge success, apart from the many individuals acquiring<br />

pieces, the National Museums <strong>of</strong> Scotland purchased two, Ulster Museum acquired a further two and the<br />

Victoria and Albert Museum took four for their Public Collection.<br />

Public Collections include:<br />

Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Museum <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts, Houston, USA; Faenza International Ceramic<br />

Museum, Italy.<br />
