About
Acclaimed ceramic artist Felicity Aylieff brings a major solo exhibition of monumental ceramics to Kew.
Aylieff is renowned for her longstanding collaborations with porcelain production workshops and artisan craftspeople in Jingdezhen, China – known as the “Porcelain Capital” of the world.
Expressions in Blue will encompass a selection of works, including incredible 5 meter tall vases, all hand-thrown and hand-painted with cobalt oxides. Alongside the 'new Ming’ vases will be a selection of colourful Fencai enamelled vessels, hand painted with stylised designs, inspired by the botanical illustrations Aylieff researched in the Shirley Sherwood Collection.
