Description

These beautiful rectangular side plates of Petra’s are a very useful serving shape and accompaniment to any table, not just for asparagus! Though they do look awesome serving a simple aspargus side or starter, served with melted garlic butter. They are slab-built from a single pattern, triangular darts cut from each corner, edges carefully mitred, then deftly folded up and joined to create the shallow depth of the plate.

Petra uses a variety of salt-glaze slips to decorate her work. There is a strong cross-over between her 2D print-making and the slip monotypes applied to her tableware. We are choosy when placing these pots in the wood-salt kiln pack. The drawings are carefully orientated in such a way that they are subtley enhanced, but not too strongly bombarded by ash and sodium on the most direct flame paths. We adore the serendipitous interaction between the slip-printed lines, finger wipes and brushwork, and the build up of fly-ash and more deeply orange-peeled surfaces creeping in and around them. From the canvas of ideas volunteered to the kiln, yields a new story and landscape.
