From Amsterdam to Hong Kong, the curators and creative professionals behind Wright and Smith have travelled all over the world to uncover the very best skilled craftspeople.

The Wright and Smith initiative was founded by Sasha Young, whose professional background is rooted in Hong Kong's interior design business. In an incredible tale of chance encounters and coincidences, the founding of Wright and Smith began when Young visited a store in Hong Kong specializing in hand painted porcelain on a recommendation by a friend. Upon entering the Yuet Tung China Works shop, she was immediately inspired by the endless rows of porcelain plates and bowls. However, it was when she met Joseph Tso, who now runs the ceramic workshop alongside his sister Anita, that everything fell into place. In a blog post on Wright and Smith, Sasha writes that in 1941, her grandparents had received a beautiful set of fine bone china dinnerware as a wedding gift and she soon discovered that the set was originally produced by the very same ceramic studio, Yuet Tung China Works.

"That's when I knew that I had to tell this story. And I wanted to tell other stories of other artisans, who in our modern and digital world are keeping traditional skills and real people's stories alive," stated Young.
