Subverting the Motto Grayson Perry subverts the traditional ceramics of 17th century artist Thomas Toft. Whereas Thomas Toft used traditional heraldic, religious, regal and folk art images, Perry uses contemporary brand names to question our value system. By having an image of the virgin Mary surrounded by Designer brands and clutching a handbag Perry is suggesting that we are more likely to worship a material object than a particular diety. It’s worth pointing out that Toft is clearly NOT a medieval artist. We’re using him to high light Perry’s work. Students are also going to reflect these materialistic concerns of the 21st century. They need to choose a brand / designer name to have on a scroll below their shield design. They may need to google, print and photocopy the brands they want. Thomas Toft 17th Century Grayson Perry 21st Century What are the similarities and differences between these two plates? 1

Thomas Toft Thomas Toft was alive during the 17th century. He worked in Staffordshire where potters at the time were known for the excellence of their slipware. This is a coarse earthenware decorated with a coloured clay and water mixture of cream-like consistency called slip. Designs Thomas Toft used included mermaids, unicorns and pelicans, also King Charles II, his wife Queen Catherine of Braganza and numerous coats of arms. A cross-hatched rim was fairly typical of the style.

Grayson Perry Perry's work refers to several ceramic traditions, including folk art. Perry researched the work of Thomas Toft during a residency at the V&A in the 1990s. By combining traditional techniques with contemporary issues, Perry questions the place traditional crafts have within the art world. The ‘Faith in Shopping’ plate shows the Virgin Mary not as the Queen of Heaven, but as "Our Lady of Bond Street" as she is surrounded by different brand names. This work asks us to question our value system.

Reflect the materialistic concerns of the 21st century by combining a brand name or symbol with 17th century heraldry and symbols. Draw a design in your sketchbook.

For example…

Starbucks mermaid steals all the money.

Cut a circle out of the clay Cut a circle out of the clay. You can shape this on a plate if you want but make sure you put a piece of paper between the clay slab and the plate.

Impress paper doilies or lace into the clay ‘plate’ to create some initial decoration. (you may only want to put this around the edge)

Sgraffito Transfer your design onto your ceramic plate. Use the clay slips to colour in your design. You can also draw into the slip revealing the original clay beneath This is called scraffito

Use cross hatching like Toft Use cross hatching like Toft. An effective way to decorate the plate is in concentric circles. After the first firing (biscuit firing) you can clear glaze the plate.
