The Friends Plates
2026
The Friends Plates are a set of hand-built ceramic plates conceived to be used together. Their irregular, embracing forms appear to lean toward one another, creating a sense of closeness when placed side by side. The plates feel almost joined, as if they belong in conversation rather than isolation. Each plate is illustrated with a hand-drawn scene of friends gathered around a table, eating, drinking, and sharing a moment. The figures are simple and expressive, drawn directly into the surface, turning the plate into both an object of use and a narrative space.

Techniques
The plates are made from black clay and finished with a deep blue underglaze. A hand-drawn scene is carved into the surface, allowing the dark clay to break through the colour.
