Amanda Tong

​

Amanda is trained in Ceramic Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design. With a real passion for the subject, Amanda graduated with a First Class Honours and went straight on to establish her own label - Amanda Tong Ceramics. As a ceramic designer- maker, she aspires to raise awareness of the artistic value in traditional craftsmanship through retelling forgotten stories and revisiting rituals within different cultures.

​

Amanda’s classic marble collection is inspired by the Yin-Yang Food Therapy - one of the most fundamental concepts in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Each of the ceramic pieces is hand-thrown by mixing together black and white porcelain, creating a material metaphor that symbolises the unique mix of Yin-Yang energies within our bodies - specifically how the opposing energies are constantly evolving to find balance and co-exist. Her work is a constant reminder for us to maintain a healthy & balanced lifestyle.
