A range of hand pressed and hand decorated oval platters and circular dishes that combine a love of illustration and functional ceramics, with a colour scheme that draws on the traditional and comforting aesthetic of blue and white country kitchen ware.

Each surface is hand painted at every stage of the making process with a combination of printed, brushed and poured detail using coloured slips, oxide, transfers and lustres.

Swift brush strokes emulate the dynamic flight paths of various birds, their beaks or tail feathers picked out with a touch of gold or a dash of dark blue.

Using the approachable and functional form of a platter, a playful narrative full of birds, nests and branches has been created. Breaks in the borders allow for them to fly from one surface to the next, so that when grouped together as a collection they form a larger, more lively scene.
