LAURA SLATER VENEZIA GIANT JUG

Laura Slater is a renowned British textile designer and has been involved in many prestigious collaborations including the Tate Gallery, London and Royal Horticultural Society, Chelsea. In the summer of 2019 Laura visited Venice. It was here that she found inspiration from the figurative works of Jean Arp and Rodin at the Peggy Guggenheim museum and to the colours of the fishing cottages on Burano. All these informed her first collection of design led ceramics done in collaboration with BlissHome. Working closely with an artisan factory in north Italy she used a hand process combining contemporary reactive glazes with traditional techniques including brush painting, mark making and spongeing to create a collection of limited edition works of art.
