I made these ceramic plates to test out at the Brooklyn Flea holiday market, Gifted, and they were a huge success. I printed them in black and in red, and had two styles, a rectangular white serving plate and a square serving plate.
I really like the idea of being able to hand-print the linoleum block onto a ceramic plate. Once the ink is dried, I glaze the surface and bake the plates to seal them. They are restaurant grade plates, perfect for serving cookies or cheese with your wine while you’re entertaining.
I got the idea from a business-savvy friend of mine, after we were hanging out at another friend’s wine & cheese party during Thanksgiving. They go well with my aesthetic and appreciation for gathering friends around some wine and good food. I love the way they developed organically…
I have a couple other ideas around this same theme that I’m working on as well. As soon as I’m happy with them, I’ll be sure to test them out too. Stay tuned…

Hi, I like your white and black plates. what kind of glaze do you use? I am making ceramic plates and I use a clear glaze that crackles. Do you brush it or spray it?
THanks
