My Mum has always been very good at craft well apart from the odd disaster but I won't embarrass her on here
she reads the forum quite often. I was chatting with her yesterday and she was saying that her Great Grandmother used to paint ceramics for Coalport china and her Great Grandfather was a designer for them.
Below is a large charger her Great Grandmother painted I think it's amazing. My GG Grandmother found a lizard in the garden once and so my GG Grandfather designed the vase below for her and she painted it. I obviously didn't get that crafty gene as the only thing I can paint properly is a wall.
My Dads side of the family were licensees in Beaumaris for donkeys years so I'm not a throw back after all
