Chalices, Spoons & Objet d’Art

This section includes a mixture of personal work alongside private and public commissions. Chalices, spoons and objet d'art — the collection extends beyond those titles to include tools, utensils and re-configured household ceramics, each transformed by Anne’s distinctive decorative language. Everyday objects are layered with artfully-trimmed ceramics, beads, coins and shards of mirror and shattered glass.

Channel 4 Kirstie’s Homemade Home

Garden Bench, Aylesbury

Materials: Crockery, tiles, mirror, coins

Size: 60cm x 110cm x 50cm

As part of the Channel 4 programme, Kirstie Allsopp enlisted Anne to help Aylesbury couple Gabi and Luke create a mosaic bench as part of a garden revamp. Filming took place at Anne's studio and the bench was designed and created in just one day! The watery theme echoed Luke's love of diving and contained shared mementos. Neither had done any mosaic before, but did a fantastic job creating something for their garden.

The programme aired in November 2010.
