A playful interpretation of classic boat shapes and Alfred Wallis’ signature painting style, ‘Chug Boat’ has a layered, textural aesthetic with hand-painted elements and a holder for one single candlestick. Muted tones of blue, burnt orange and brown can be seen on the front and reverse and two flags stand proud as a nod towards maritime signals.

Inspired by the Tate + DARN collaboration, ceramic artist and designer Alice Johnson has created a very special collection of ceramics for us.

Taking note from the works of British fisherman and artist Alfred Wallis, each boat and fish has its own character with Alice’s humorous and nostalgic touch. Designed and made in London, materials such as terracotta, porcelain slip and glaze, combined with a slap build technique, have been used to bring charming shapes and textures to life.

Alice's signature style evokes a sense of joy, so we know this collection will bring a smile to your face! A pro at creating wobbly pots, ceramic bits n bobs and pottery pets, Alice Johnson is based between London and Stroud.
