Finch, Willy ( Alfred William Finch) (1854–1930). Belgian painter, graphic artist, ceramicist, and designer, of British extraction, active mainly in Finland. He was a friend of Georges Seurat and Paul
Signac and helped to introduce their Neo-Impressionist style to Belgium. In 1897, having temporarily abandoned painting for ceramics, he moved to Finland to direct the Iris pottery factory at Porvoo, near Helsinki, and had a notable influence on the modernization of Finnish design. The Iris factory closed in 1902, and although Finch continued to work in ceramics he also resumed painting in 1905 and became a leader of the
Septem group. He taught at the Drawing School of the Finnish Arts' Association, 1902–5, and at the Finnish Central School of Applied Art, 1905–30, and in these roles he was an important force in bringing the fine and applied arts of Finland into contact with contemporary European trends.
