On a recent stay in Malvern, we made a trip to Ledbury where I fulfilled my long-held dream of visiting the gorgeous Tinsmiths. It didn't disappoint - it's a cornucopia of beautifully curated art and craft and I wanted to come home with *everything*!

It has been pointed out that it was remiss of me to overlook the obvious comparator - exceedingly good pottery

I can't think of something AI generated that I would be interested in. Like say I'm following a bunch of mudlarking folk. Is it useful to me to see a bit of AI slipware shards? No.

Fragment from the Base of a Bowl https://www.artic.edu/artworks/92604/
Fragments of Byzantine pottery preserve decorative motifs that were placed on the base of each pot’s interior. They represent a range of geometric and abstract floral motifs - such as the multicolored starburst preserved on this fragment- that were created by cutting through the white slip, or glaze, to reveal the red earthenware beneath. This technique of engraved slipware is known as sgraffitto. Color washes in a range of greens and browns were then placed over the incised decoration. First developed in the eleventh century, this combination of sgraffitto and color washes remained a defining feature of fine Byzantine pottery for several centuries. Later Byzantine pottery such as this circulated throughout the eastern Mediterranean. Over time, it competed with an increasing number of imported ceramics of Italian, Islamic, and even Chinese origin. The technique and decorative motif seen here continued to be used in regions of Greece, Anatolia, and the Balkans during the Ottoman Empire (15th–20th century), thereby outlasting the Byzantine Empire itself, which ended in 1453.ed Anonymous Fund

Charger https://collections.artsmia.org/art/8275/
dish (attributed to John Simpson), ceramic, English, XVIIIc cat. card dims diam 11-1/4' This charger is decorated in slip, or clay that is mixed with water to a liquid consistency. To create the marbled decoration, the multi-colored slip was carefully applied in lines and then swirled, probaby with the use of a comb. Staffordshire potters like John Simpson excelled at slipware decoration during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

Loaf dish https://collections.artsmia.org/art/5609/
brown ground with yellow slip decoration on top of vertical and horizontal lines and 2 rows of dots Redware decorated with slip patterns was an important part of the English and American folk tradition in ceramics during the 18th and 19th centuries. Light-colored slip (watered-down clay) was painted directly on the red clay body. Feathers and other tools were dragged through the slip to create animated patterns. A resurgence of interest in the slipware tradition occurred during the mid-20th century with ceramists such as the English potter Michael Cardew and the American Ken Ferguson.

I did pottery at school so I did the standard range of slipware, hand modelling and thrown pots. I can't say I enjoyed it much, the end results didn't please me. I prefer metalwork.
