Plates and Dishes
The flat form of the plate or platter and the wide generous form of a large dish provide a fabulous vehicle for decoration, storytelling and exploring texture and colour in ceramics.
Anne Barrell Ceramics
Eastbourne, England
Ships in a tree lined harbour, Anne BarrellA large dish with painterly decoration. There is also a lot of detail on the back.
Linocut ship platter, Anne BarrellSoft painterly glazes break on the form and decoration to highlight the warmth of the red earthenware clay.
Two ships with a pink iceberg, Anne BarrellThere is a naive quality to the decoration. I was commissioned to make some large dishes referring to a trip to Greenland and it set off a whole range of imagery.
