Founded and led by directors Bruce Rowe and Claire Hatch, Anchor is an interdisciplinary creative practice working across surface, structure and form. The studio team work to build bridges between art, design, architecture and craft.

Anchor’s collection of refined handmade lighting, hardware and furniture products purposefully show the tactile essence of the clay bodies and glazes developed and utilised in the studio. These methods combine conventional ceramic techniques, digital technologies and unconventional contemporary tools and approaches. The considered surfaces and forms evidence the integration of the enquiry, design and making process.

Product ranges are designed by Bruce Rowe and collectively made using a variety of creative techniques and processes. The studio itself is a place where artists, writers, ceramicists, photographers, artisans, architects and designers collaborate to stretch, and test, their thinking around materiality, place and process.
