Ceramic Artist & Studio Founder | Chive

Todd Newgren founded Chive Studio in Toronto in 2004. He has spent over two decades designing and handmaking ceramic flowers, plant pots, and vases, and his work is now stocked in the Getty Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and 200+ galleries and botanical institutions worldwide.

Chive has been exhibiting at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show since 2013, and has twice won the 5-star booth award — only two are given each year. Todd is the person most likely to recognize a British celebrity before you do, and just as likely to come home slightly damp.
