Porcelain Narrative Display Plates
It all begins with a sketch and an idea to explore. The unfired porcelain is porous and smooth. It is the perfect surface to paint, score or etch into and sgrafitto onto.
The Porcelain Portrait Plates, are handmade, painted porcelain plates inspired by human facial expressions and relationships. Ceramic slips and underglazes, painted using expressive brush marks. Unexpected juxtapositions of loose and controlled thin and thick lines, under transparent glaze. The plates have a wall hanging disc attached on the back or are displayed on a plate stand.
The themes include; The Zoom Meetings, The Dog Walkers, The Refugees, Musicians, Travellers and Siblings.
