I love the six shooter dishes designed by Laura McKibbon. This Canadian artist makes beautiful hand-made ceramics incorporating photography and printmaking.
McKibbon’s extraordinary talent for sourcing images and teaming them up with cool product shapes like these dishes and trays is a great exploration of art, craft, and design. She also makes cups, bowls and other kitchen wear.
Theses dishes have a bit of a retro feel, although with a modern funkiness to the prints. I like her good eye for color combinations too.
