About the artist
Felicity Aylieff is an artist of international standing recognised for her research into large scale ceramics. Working from her studio in Bath for more than 3 decades, she has more recently developed a collaborative relationship with manufactories in Jingdezhen, China where she makes monumental pots. The surfaces of these pots explore contemporary translations of traditionally used techniques. Her work shows her passion for material and process through its use of colour, pattern and decorative techniques. Education has always played a prominent role in her career. She was awarded a Professorship in ceramics from Bath Spa University in 2000 and has been teaching in the Ceramics and Glass department at the RCA since 2001. She has work in numerous international private and public collections including the Victoria and Albert museum, London and is represented by Adrian Sassoon, London.
