Emily Mitchell’s response to our Spring Collection Brief, ‘Love Needs an Object’.

We invited our makers and artists to create a single piece or a series as an expression of love, open to their interpretation. The work could have a narrative running through, or be a pure symbol of love. Our aim was for the work to play a role within the home and to resonate with love.

Emily made A set of small slipware word plates for the Spring Collection. ‘In the red deeps’ is taken from Mill on the Floss, its the place where Maggie goes to escape and be herself without constraints and later where she meets Philip Wakem in secret and he declares his love for her…

‘In this June time, too, the dog-roses were in their glory, and that was an additional reason why Maggie should direct her walk to the Red Deeps, rather than to any other spot, on the first day she was free to wander at her will⁠ - a pleasure she loved so well, that sometimes, in her ardors of renunciation, she thought she ought to deny herself the frequent indulgence in it‘. The Mill on the Floss, George Eliot.

“I thought it was a great phrase, with resonance”. 
Each plate is hand made and painted with layers of coloured slip, with white slip dot letterforms and a transparent gloss glaze.

Dimensions: Diameter: 18cm  Depth: 3cm
