Kew Society – Monumental Porcelain by Felicity Aylieff

Imagine porcelain ceramics several metres high! Felicity Aylieff is an artist and professor at the Royal College of Art in London and is renowned for creating dynamic hand-thrown and painted porcelain vessels on a grand scale.   So she’s just the person to explain how such monumentally tall pots can be made!  Felicity’s work is currently on display at The Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, London, where she is exhibiting towering pieces over 5 meters high.  Working in the city of Jingdezhen, China, the ancient home of porcelain manufacture, Felicity has developed lasting partnerships with teams of local experts. These have allowed her to realise her ambitions and push the limits of porcelain, this most challenging and captivating of materials.  The Kew Society are delighted to welcome Felicity to share her experiences of collaborating across cultures and the creativity this has inspired in her work.  She will talk about her career and recent new body of work.  More details and admission prices here.
