In October 2016 House of Illustration will open the first major public exhibition by acclaimed illustrator Laura Carlin exploring the narrative possibilities of ceramics.<br />
In the exhibition Carlin uses archetypal ceramic forms such as the vessel, the tile, the object and the plate to explore ceramics and storytelling.<br />
It will include a 650-tile mural exploring the history of London which combines a narrative storytelling format, typically associated with ephemeral comics and zines, with the permanent solid form of the ceramic tile. There will also be an installation of 20 illustrated plates, a ceramic Noah’s ark complete with animals, a theatrical installation with ceramic figurines and a large illustrated vessel.Pic Shows Scenes of history among 650 tile history of London mural
