Bethan Gray Lustre Inky Dhow Small Side Table in Ultramarine, White and Brass

Bethan Gray has an extraordinary background: born to a Scottish father and Welsh mother, her maternal family descends from a nomadic Rajasthani clan that migrated across Arabia and Persia over centuries. Inspired by her heritage and fueled by a deep-seated curiosity about global art and culture, Bethan has travelled to many of the places they passed through, developing an innate sense for the geometric forms common to many of these regions. Today, her creative and technical expertise lies in bringing contemporary relevance to traditional techniques – keeping both cultural narratives and crafts skills alive. Working within equal partnerships that are built on mutual trust and respect is at the heart of Bethan Gray’s creative practice. By collaborating with master craftsmen and bringing contemporary relevance to their work, she is able to connect them to new commercial markets all over the world, celebrating and preserving their skills.
