Zahed Taj-Eddin

Born: 1965, Syria, Aleppo

Ceramicist and sculptor. Zahed Taj-Eddin was born in Aleppo, Syria and studied in the UK. He is influenced by ancient artefacts, archaeology and mythology. He has worked on many archaeological digs in the Middle East and Sicily. He works intuitively with clay and creates sculptural ceramic figures which he finishes with textures, and naturalistic patinas. Some have weathered surfaces which he creates with oxides and the artful use of glazes. He demonstrated at the International Ceramics Festival at Aberystwyth in 2017. In the same year he had an installation at Manchester Museum, part of The University of Manchester, reflecting on the Museum’s Egyptology collection.
