A little about the artist: Virginia Graham Drawing inspiration from historical ceramic wares, vintage textiles, paper ephemera and themes of collecting and commemoration, Virginia creates useable ceramics that collage together nostalgic form and imagery with just a little playful humour. Mixing styles, prints and colour in order to evoke memories, create connections and associations. The resulting pieces are somehow strange yet familiar, precious yet ordinary. Her work has received Arts Council awards, has been featured on television and in many national publications including Country Living, Elle Decoration, Vogue and Homes and Gardens. She has exhibited internationally in Japan and the USA and in the UK at the V&A, Selfridges, the Crafts Council Gallery and the Royal College of Arts to name only a few. Virginia works from her garden studio in the market town of Corsham in The Cotswolds
