'There's many a slip twixed cup and lip', 2016

The collection ‘There’s Many a Slip Twixed Cup and Lip’ takes its cue from the Alison Britton Exhibition of the same name and explores the capacity of ceramic material and process to affect interpretation of the humble vessel form.

As a collective, the show bares testimony to the poignancy of the vessel as both thematic and functional object. With work taken from each year on the undergraduate programme demonstrating initial exploration of form and technique by students just three months into the course amidst the more honed skill base of recent graduates.

Perception, beauty and function are a few elements which influenced this body of work in response to a mundane tea cup.
