Ken Edwards, a renowned pottery designer and ceramicist, was born in Kansas City. Initially he studied at the K. C Fine Arts Institute and earned his graduate degree. Next, he moved to the Far East and learnt various pottery techniques. He became proficient with the use of special clay and high-fired glaze. Later, in the 1950s he shifted base to Guadalajara, where he worked with other famous ceramicists. It was here that he began to work with different types of pottery. Along with his other collaborators, he has been called the National Treasure of Mexico. The most important and distinguishing feature of Ken Edwards ceramics range is the freedom of expression displayed by its painters and throwers. The pottery produced is of the finest quality and artistic worth. The designs painted on the pottery are inspired by the 400-year old paintings of the Nahua people who lived around Tonalá, Jalisco. Ken has created a guide-book for his artists, using the animistic images of the Nahuas as a baseline while retaining their individual elements. The artists use this book as their guide, but are in no way restrained from using their imagination. They proudly mark each artefact with the KE symbol along with their personal signature or chop mark, which is a Chinese tradition introduced at the pottery by Ken Edwards.
