Ever spent an afternoon at one of those pottery cafes when you were young, with shelves of unglazed pots and mugs just begging for you to plonk your drawings on and be placed in the kiln.  It certainly made for a couple of fun hours with something special to take home at the end but for illustrator Charlotte Mei, this is no rare treat.  The brilliant recent Camberwell graduate takes it to the next level creating her own super ceramics – the personality-packed plates and bowls are so adorable so you just want to pinch their noses. She also has an interesting illustration portfolio which contains ample evidence of that same charm and wit.
