Simon Cryer is a designer and ceramicist working under the imprint Monographis from the Bath Artists’ Studios complex in Bath. His background in graphic design informs his ceramic practice, evident in his focus on minimal, sharp, and distinctive forms that celebrate the inherent beauty and materiality of porcelain.

Simon’s work is characterized by a light-touch approach to glazing. He often applies subtle pops of colour or a simple white or clear gloss to the interiors of his pieces, creating a striking contrast with the matte, unglazed, and occasionally carved exteriors. This interplay of texture and form reflects his refined and modern aesthetic, merging design sensibility with the timeless appeal of handcrafted ceramics.
