Don McCollin and Maureen Bryan set up McCollin Bryan in 1998. The fusion of their backgrounds in
textiles (McCollin at the Royal College of Art) and ceramics (Bryan at Middlesex Polytechnic) has led
to a distinctive portfolio of designs.
In their designs of furniture and objects, their approach is strongly driven by the materials they work
with and a mutual need to be active in the craft of making.
Key to their working practice is the process of experimentation and the development of visual
concepts. While McCollin explores surface textures and patterns, Bryan designs forms that have
sculptural impact. They are both inspired to exploit the qualities of the materials they use in order to
create pieces that will surprise and intrigue the viewer.
Each piece is designed, made and assembled in UK.
