Description: | The objects in Tea Cabarét with their twisting handles and bold decoration seem oddly sized in relation to one another. This contributes to their 'larger than life' presence, influenced by the Mad Hatter's Tea Party from the story of 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll. Each object has been thrown formed. The pattern relief has been formed with 'slip', which is liquid clay. This has been applied using a special stencilling technique.
