1941，born in YAMAGATA，JAPAN studied at the Women's Art University in TOKYO, studied cast design at the Industrial Experimental Station. 1977, moved to DEVON,UK, worked under Michael Leach. 1978, started producing RAKU ware in Norway. 1980, established a studio in DEVON. 1987, set up DRAYFORD MILL CERAMICS LTD.

In the past few years, Keiko Hasegawa, who has made a name for herself as a Japanese potter in England perhaps more successfully than any other, has gone through a period of self searching and criticism. This enabled her  to develop her own style, whilst working in this country and give the future of ceramic art a new definition.

Keiko Hasegawa constantly experiments and explores different materials and techniques from the rough textural qualities of raku to the refinement of porcelain and more recently the use of metallic gold over a textured semi-matt black glaze. Few studio ceramists have successfully used on-glaze gold, but with Hasegawa's sensibility the results are spectacular.

Keiko is now admired and collected in Japan, England and many other European countries. Her work is to be found in many prestigious galleries, including the British and the Victoria and Albert Museums.
