About the Work

Felicity Aylieff is one of the UK’s most innovative contemporary artists working in clay. She established her reputation as a maker of large-scale, sculptural ceramics at the Royal College of Art in 1996. Ten years on, an ‘incredibly liberating’ artist residency in Jingdezhen, China, the historic home of Chinese porcelain production, saw the beginning of a series of monumental pots, the largest of which stands three metres high.

Returning each summer since then Felicity has developed the surface decoration of the pots with printed, stylised drawings of plants and flowers or colourful clouds of exquisite, exotic butterflies.
