Yve Slater studied art foundation in Brighton and then completed a degree in Illustration at the Manchester School of Art. She continued to develop and explore drawing on location. Influenced by colour and shape, as well as David Hockney’s photographic collages, she began creating large scale drawings from observation, on location; supermarkets, car meets, garages and journeys on public transport.
Throughout lockdown, Yve’s Norfolk based Grandmother (a potter) encouraged her to paint some porcelain pieces, and so began a love affair with functional artwork. Moving to Barcelona for six months she undertook an intensive ceramic course.
Working solely with fired clay, the ceramic collection is a mix of stoneware, both wheel-thrown and hand built. With a focus on editions and one-off pieces, the illustrations are abstracted directly from her observational drawings. Each piece is decorated using methods of hand painting and sgraffito.
