Ivo Mosley is a British potter, writer and polymath whose ceramics unite craft tradition with a distinct personal vision. 

Educated at Oxford in Chinese, his lifelong engagement with East Asian aesthetics is evident in his work. 

Trained in the late 1970s within the Leach tradition, Mosley produced stoneware vessels of strong sculptural presence, refined glazes, and an economy of line that reflect both Japanese influence and the ethos of British studio pottery.

Also active as a writer, translator and commentator, Mosley brought intellectual breadth and philosophical depth to his practice. Though less widely known than some contemporaries, his ceramics are increasingly valued for their quiet strength, meditative quality, and fusion of East and West.
