Ingrid Saag
Born and grew up in Georgetown, Guyana.
+ Education
Trained in illustration at art colleges in London and Brighton, which led to a busy career for some 20 years as a freelance illustrator in publishing, packaging and advertising. Clients included Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer, IBM, The Natural History Museum, British Rail, National Rivers Authority, Dulux, Time Life and Readers Digest.
Meanwhile Ingrid began to develop skills with clay, studying under established figures such as Jill Crowley, Caroline Whyman and Tessa Fuchs and started exhibiting her ceramics in 1994.
In 2003 she enrolled at South Thames College to further her skills, attaining a BTEC qualification in ceramics a year later.
She set up her ceramics studio in Kingston Upon Thames in 2005 and in 2007 was selected for professional membership of the Craft Potters Association. Her work has been sold to clients and collectors in the UK and worldwide.
