I love the six shooter dishes designed by Laura McKibbon. This Canadian artist makes beautiful [hand-made ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handpainted-ceramic-collections) incorporating photography and printmaking.

McKibbon’s extraordinary talent for sourcing images and teaming them up with cool product shapes like these [dishes and trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destree-x-cabana) is a great exploration of art, craft, and design. She also makes [cups, bowls and other kitchen wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-collection1).

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.
