Dan Jamieson is an artist/illustrator and now accepts he is a ceramicist, living and working in Nottingham. 

He makes handmade 'hate plates' involving blunt, sometimes rude, and charmingly crude statements that are often humorous or hard hitting and equally bold and equally crass.

They centre around the rigours and awkwardness of socialising, family and friend’s irritating habits, drinking, snacking, misplaced nostalgia and interior designers aiming to provoke a reaction in the viewer as a conversation piece.

The hate plates started out as an experiment during a ceramics class at Turning Earth. When those pieces quickly sold out, he decided to make more and has continued since. 

His works are now collected worldwide and have formed a devoted fanbase amongst clients and celebrities alike. His work has been featured in The Sunday Times Style, Grazia, and Vogue Canada together with many influential interior designers’ social media accounts. 

He has progressed into bigger and bolder screenprints and neon artworks exclusive to Air Contemporary Gallery, while still staying faithful to pushing and pursuing new ideas with the original hate plates.

Don't say it to their face, say it with a hate plate instead.

I’m not sure if I told you already, but I used to live in London. (4th edition) Print

These are places where art, design and craft aren't a district or a season, but the whole personality of the place. You probably remember the first museum you visited on a family holiday thanks to a keychain you bought or an artist whose work really resonated with you and transports you back to a particular place. Better yet, the best creative cities aren't always the ones with the biggest museums or the most famous galleries, they're the places where making things is woven into everyday life: where art, design and craft shape the streets, the buildings, the food, the music and the people who live there. Some have spent centuries passing skills from one generation to the next, while others have reinvented themselves through artists, students and makers. Here are some places that do it especially well.

The Most Creative Cities in the World

We all know summer changes (and raises the stakes of) a London date. The city stays light until ten, the pavements fill up, and suddenly "drinks?" feels like a wasted opportunity. This is a list for doing it properly - organised not by postcode but by the kind of date you're on. The nervy first coffee. The ice cream that's really an excuse for a walk. The wine bar where things get interesting. The spot that becomes a permanent fixture long after the first, third and fifth date. And, naturally, for when it matters, somewhere special. Twenty places, five categories, one long summer. Use accordingly.

Where to go for summer dates in London

Some houses explain an artist better than any retrospective. The places on this list weren't just lived in - they were made, obsessively, room by room, often over decades. A cobalt-blue courtyard in Coyoacán. A glass box lifted above the São Paulo rainforest. A Sussex farmhouse where no surface escaped a paintbrush. Most are open to visit, a few take planning, and all of them reward it. These are ten worth knowing about.

10 Artists' Houses To Save Around The World

Dan Jamieson makes work that gets read, re-read, and quietly lodged in your brain. His cult Hate Plates have built a following on the kind of dry, knowing humour that feels like it was written just for you - and his screen prints carry that same energy at a grander scale. We sat down with Dan - whose work you can find on Glassette, including in our Art Kiosk collection - to talk about why bold art anchors a room rather than overwhelming it, where his best phrases come from, and why he thinks safe choices are usually the ones you'll regret most. Funny, frank, and surprisingly freeing if you've ever stood in front of a blank wall and talked yourself out of something you loved.

The Power of One Bold Piece of Art

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.
Each week, every member of the Glassette team shares their current favourites, whether that’s new arrivals, pieces we’ve spotted trending, or timeless finds we can’t stop thinking about. Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration, handpicked by the Glassette team.

Gifting for the BIG Present

Sagittarius season (November 22 – December 21) invites adventure, expansion, and discovery.
Represented by the archer, Sagittarians are guided by curiosity, optimism, and an unshakable quest for truth. They are drawn to experiences and objects that spark freedom, exploration, and meaning - things that open the mind and broaden horizons. Sagittarians thrive in spaces that feel open and alive, filled with light, laughter, and a sense of possibility. With warmth, wit, and a fearless spirit, Sagittarius infuse their relationships, and their homes, with adventure, honesty, and an infectious zest for life.
