Purple Verbena
ARTIST
Tara McGinn
ABOUT THE WORK
This stoneware ceramic piece is created from a slipcast mould of a cherished set of dishes once belonging to the artist’s grandmother. By casting these inherited delftware forms, the artist preserves their familiar shape while reimagining them through their own contemporary practice. Each recreated dish becomes both an echo of memory and the beginning of a new story, perhaps even a future heirloom for someone else.
This piece is hand painted with Wisteria and Floating Lavender glaze and a Mountain Lake underglaze, finished with a clear crackle effect.
These series of dishes and soaps were made with the technical assistance and additional creative input of Tadhg Charles.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Tara McGinn’s cross-disciplinary, or non-disciplinary, practice explores the fabric of language in objects, architectural surfaces, and textures as texts, and vice versa. Their work deconstructs and re-collages sentimentality, tradition, queer identity, bodily trauma, and the comforts found in shared spaces.
Tadhg Charles is an artist, designer, educator, and PhD researcher at Northumbria University, exploring how digital tools can make architecture more accessible. Passionate about blending physical and digital design, he teaches courses across Europe on cutting-edge fabrication and emerging tech. His work helps creators seamlessly bring ideas to life whether on-screen or in real life bridging the gap between imagination and reality. At the centre of all his undertakings is a fundamental interest in sharing, agency and storytelling.
