Effective January 1: Masks are Optional in VisArts’ Classrooms and Studios
Ann Hobart will share stories—and pots—from the leading figures of the British Pottery Revival Movement that surged after World War II.
In the late 1940s, a new generation of potters began making functional ware for the home as an antidote to the mass-produced ceramics of the Victorian era. Among them were Mick and Sheila Casson, Richard Batterham, Mary Rich, Seth Cardew, Alan Caiger Smith, John Maltby, and David Leach—artists who helped define the British Country Pottery style. When Hobart visited their studios in 1992, the experience cemented her love of this movement, which she continues to share with her students at VisArts.
She’ll present her collection of British pots alongside the history that made them possible—a story that shaped today’s resurgence of interest in handmade pottery across the United States.
This Center for Craft Studies program is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Windgate Foundation.
