Effective January 1: Masks are Optional in VisArts’ Classrooms and Studios
Ann Hobart will share stories and pots of some of the notables of the British Pottery Revival Movement that erupted after WWII. After WWII, a new generation of potters began to make functional pots for use in the home as an “antidote” to the industrially made production ware of the Victorian Era. Her travels in 1992 to visit several of these potters at their studios: Mick and Sheila Casson, Richard Batterhsm, Mary Rich, Seth Cardew, Alan Caiger Smith, John Maltby, and David Leach cemented her love of the British Country Pottery style which she continues to share with students at Visarts. She will share her collection of British pots and the history that made them possible. Today’s explosion of interest in handcrafted pottery in the United States owes its existence to this movement and to these legends of British pottery.
This Center for Craft Studies program is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Windgate Foundation.
