Emma Biggs (born 1956) is a London-based mosaic artist and author of several standard textbooks on contemporary mosaic practice. Having completed the large public art project, "Made in England", based on the visual culture and ideology of the pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent (in the English Midlands), her work became increasingly concerned with the ceramic industry and its social history.
