‘Step Up To The Plate’ Charity Fundraising Event for CHAS Children’s Charity

I was invited to take part, along with 40 artists, in this fundraising event in October, which raised a massive £9k on the evening of the auction sale. The event was organised by Barbara Bates, director of Cafe Ceramico. Plate donations were designed by artists including Ross Muir, Adrian McMurchie, June Carey, Hazil Nagi and Celie Byrne with celebrities including Susan Calman, Phil Jupitus and Buzzcocks drummer John Maher.

 
I was asked to create a design in any way I wished on a blank earthenware plate.
My plate is called ‘East Coast Meets West Coast’ and raised £180 for the charity.
