Helen Perrett is celebrated for her playful, hand-illustrated work, a practice that blends colour, character, and storytelling in equal measure.
Helen's ceramic wall-plates features her signature dog portraits: each piece is lively, expressive, and layered with personality, capturing the quirks and tenderness of canine companionship.
Perrett’s wider practice embraces whimsy, domestic familiarity, and narrative. Working primarily in terracotta clays, she builds her forms by hand, often using layered slips, underglazes, oxides, and stains to achieve surfaces suggestive of age or memory.
Influenced by children’s book illustrators she weaves myth, history, and imagined tales into her work, frequently evoking animals, figures, and scenes as if emerging from stories.
In 2022 she was awarded second place in the Portage Ceramic Awards for her piece No space in my head, a testament to both her technical skill and her ability to convey emotional depth through ceramic sculpture.
In this series of dog plates, Perrett channels all of that: narrative impulse, illustrative sensitivity, and a deeply empathetic eye for the animals she portrays. Together, the plates form a warm, joyous gathering; a reminder of the solace, humour, and connection that our four-legged friends bring into our lives.
