Philip Eglin studied at Staffordshire Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art. His ceramic works reflect and comment on contemporary culture. References are made to an array of sources including Northern Gothic religious woodcarvings, Chinese export porcelain, English folk ceramics and the language of symbols used on contemporary packaging. His most recent work explores juxtapositions of imagery related to football, religion and sex.

Eglin exhibits internationally and his work can be found in major private and public collections including the Stedelijk Museum, the Netherlands, Mint Museum, USA, British Council, London, National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He was winner of the prestigious Jerwood Prize for Applied Arts: Ceramics in 1996. In 2025 Eglin was selected as a finalist in the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize.
