Edward
Balaba

An alumnus of Makerere University Kampala, a Uganda-based ceramic artist and lecturer at his alma mater. He has been a practicing artist for more than a decade and a teacher for over 17 years. Edward describes his work practice as inspired by the materiality of things constructed by communities. “I borrow elements from day-to-day life, and I am interested in fabricating ceramics in an experimental way. I mainly work with hand-building techniques, combining slab, coil, throwing, sculpting, and joining parts in a fabrication way.”
