Roche Plates are special limited edition dining plates that feature designs by artists who have a longstanding relationship with the New Art Centre, Roche Court Sculpture Park. The first Roche Plate was designed by Richard Deacon in 2016. The success of Deacon’s plate has led to future collaborations with Alison Wilding, David Nash, Nigel Hall, Bill Woodrow, Conrad Shawcross, Dorothy Cross and a second design by Richard Deacon.

The New Art Centre, Roche Court Sculpture Park collaborate on the plates with 1882. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, 1882 is a fifth-generation ceramics studio that specialises in progressive design with a focus on craftsmanship. They produce a combination of essential objects and special pieces that highlight the centuries of industrial heritage craft skills and knowledge that reside in the heart of the British ceramics industry. Intended to be both decorative and functional all editions of the Roche Plates are dishwasher safe.
