Ashraf Hanna is a ceramic sculptor. He is from Minya, Egypt and now has a studio in Pembrokeshire, Wales.[1] His work includes handbuilt forms based on a pinch pot such as Undulating Vessels which have been acquired by the Victoria & Albert and Fitzwilliam Museums.[2] His works usually have a burnished finish created using a slip resist technique which he calls naked raku.[3]

He has won several awards including Welsh Artist of the Year in 2010, in the Applied Arts category.[4]

In 2024, Hanna was a guest judge on The Great Pottery Throw Down.[5]
