Anne Barrell makes tiles and plates designed to evoke the atmosphere of the English seaside. Piers, promenades, beaches, fish and chip shops, flags and Victorian tiling are evoked in the hand glazed and printed ranges.

Anne visits locations around the UK and takes her own photographs. The images are then digitally manipulated on a computer and screen-printed onto the final pieces. A dreamy palette of colours and tints - aqua blues, lime greens, candy pinks - make the surfaces highly tactile and as Anne mixes her own glazes the range is completely unique. Up to the minute digital printing technology ensures clear vibrant colours on the fine English Bone china plates.


'Before turning to ceramics, Anne Barrell was a London bus driver. Routemaster's loss is our gain- her photographic tiles and tableware are exactly the kind of original and vaguely eccentric things we like in our kitchens.' The Guardian

'Where some might see decay, Barrell sees an inverted beauty' Vogue.
