Having started their practice in Hong Kong, Grace and Philip moved to the UK in 2022 to raise their two daughters in Bristol, where they are now based. Since then, Cowrice has added printmaking and calligraphy to its repertoire, extending its product range from leather goods to include tea towels and calendars.
