Saffa Khan (they/she) is an artist and designer with a focused interest in process and play. They create tangible, self-published printed matter and ceramic objects as a means of navigating their feelings, surroundings and field research. They utilise print and design as a space for experimental collaboration and clay as a body to conjure mementoes, inspired by ceremonial ritualism, folklore, mythology and natural found matter. Saffa also illustrates children’s books and has worked with Chronicle Books, Harper Collins, THEM, V&A and Google.
