Belfast Session

Memory first. Play always.

Our BELFAST Delft tiles are kiln-fired in our Belfast studio, each one beginning with a memory, a sketch, or a story too good not to share. Inspired by 17th-century Dutch Delftware, and further back, by Ming Dynasty porcelain, they’re reimagined through a modern, mischievous lens.

Every piece starts in the mind, a half-remembered image, a mental sketch that sparks a grin. From there, I generate and gather fragments, creating visual collages out of the pieces: cutting, pasting, sticking, and playing until something absurd, delightful, or unexpectedly tender appears. It’s a process of curiosity, not control, more play than precision.

Yes, there’s a whisper of AI in there somewhere. But these pieces aren’t about AI; they’re laughing at it, laughing at the idea that creativity could ever be replaced, and at the fear that sometimes surrounds new tools. In our studio, curiosity wins. Play wins.

Each tile is a little visual story: a memory, a smile, a nudge to see the world with humour and wonder.

Available in two sizes, every tile comes with its own easel. Some designs also appear in our Bone China collection. Hand-crafted, memory-infused, and just a little cheeky, these pieces are meant to be enjoyed, not explained.

Step into memory. Have a laugh. See what happens.
