Born in London in1942. Walter Keeler trained at Harrow School of Art progressing to Reader in Ceramics, at University of the West of England, Bristol. Working in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum, inspiration for his later work came from handling eighteenth century ceramics. His work is included in Public Collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum, National Museum of Wales, Stoke-on-Trent City Museum and museums in the USA, Sweden and Japan.

His aim is to create a ‘surprising object doing a commonplace job’.
