Plates Please at The Shop Floor Project
A collection of hand-built stoneware plates by Charlotte Salt.
“With the hand of a mediaeval painter, Charlotte Salt's striking Face Plates conjure all sorts of magic. There is something celestial and symbolic about the work, like deities of the sun and moon, they sing out with such a presence”. ~TSFP
“Taking a layered and historical approach to her inspiration, Charlotte cites the delicate yet powerful work of William Blake, poetry of John Milton, Picasso’s ceramics and early tapestries as a rich web of imagery that filters through into her work”.~ TSFP
Some time walking not unseen
By Hedge-row Elms, on Hillocks green,
Right against the Eastern gate,
Where the great Sun begins his state,
Rob'd in flames, and Amber light,
The clouds in thousand Liveries delight.
John Milton, L'Allegro, 1645
