Melina Xenaki is a London/Athens based ceramic artist. After completing her BA with first class in Ceramics & Glass (UCA, Farnham) the maker moved to London to complete her two year Masters at the Royal College of Art. Trained to deliver high-end craftsmanship in the lines of British studio pottery, the maker draws inspiration from her rich Greek heritage and aims to create unique works that reflect her love for the raw and immediate way ancient artifacts of the Mediterranean carry patterns, animals and plants. She has collaborated with two big architecture practices, OOAK architects and Kokosalaki architecture, to create unique ceramic installations, and created an exclusive collection for the shops of the British Museum and the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture. Alongside her practice as a maker, Melina has taught ceramics at St Ann’s psychiatric hospital and Pentonville men's prison.
