    distinctive finish

    The company specialises in a diverse range of handmade ceramics, including mugs, tumblers, and miniature pottery, which founder Yuta Segawa has a particular specialism in. Each piece is designed and hand-cast in London, showcasing unique and often complex techniques. The use of brightly coloured, hand-applied glazes gives every item its distinctive finish. This commitment to meticulous, hands-on production distinguishes SGW Labs’ products from mass-produced alternatives.

    individual character

    heritage of craftsmanship

    Driven by a passion for artistic creation, SGW Labs continues to uphold the heritage of craftsmanship. The brand’s collection of bespoke, handcrafted items offers customers pieces that are valued for their quality, artistry, and individual character.

    William Morris

    The company’s slogan, "The Art of people," is a nod to William Morris's influential 1879 lecture at the Birmingham Society of Arts and School of Design.

    Morris, a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts movement, used this phrase to underscore the significance of craftsmanship and human labour.

    He advocated for art that brings happiness to both its creator and its audience, believing that genuine artistry stems from a pleasure in human work.
