  • Clarice and Her Contemporaries
    Clarice and Her Contemporaries INTRODUCTION 1999 was the centenary of Clarice Cliff probably the best known woman pottery designer of the 20th century. She was a designer and pottery owner from the 1920s to the 1960s, but she is most famous for her hand painted designs of the 1920s and 30s. Few designers had their name included in the pottery backstamp but the influence of women on the development of Staffordshire ceramics in this period has become more widely recognised in recent years. CLARICE CLIFF Clarice Cliff was born on 20th January 1898 in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. At fourteen she started work as a paintress for a local pottery. In 1916 she joined the firm of A.J.Wilkinson where she stayed for the rest of her working life. Clarice’s artistic talents were soon noticed. She started to work with the company’s designers and attended classes at Burslem School of Art. She was given her own studio at the factory and in 1927 her range of hand-painted Bizarre Ware was launched. Bizarre Ware was an immediate success. The designs were in the popular Art Deco style and were inexpensive. Clarice added hundreds of patterns to the original range, including the Fantasque and Inspirations series. She also designed the shapes of her pottery, often using geometric forms. In 1931 she became the company’s art director. During the war decorated pottery was made for export only. Clarice adapted her style to what would sell overseas, designing many printed patterns based on Victorian originals. Clarice married the owner of Wilkinson’s Pottery, Colley Shorter.

  • Arts Council of England
    Arts Council of England Against the Grain - The Sapperton Group of Craftsmen Designers Dir Margaret Dickinson Cast Sheila Allen, Richard Campbell, Robin Canter, Elizabeth Routier, Clare Shanks 1983 / 52 min DOCUMENTARY The story of three architects, Ernest Gimson, Ernest Barnsley and Sidney Barnsley, who settled in Sapperton in the Cotswolds in the early 1890's. Inspired by the ideas of William Morris, they decided to leave the city for the countryside, hoping to find the setting for "a real revival of building and the handicrafts, free from commercialism and the monotony of machine production". They built and restored houses in local stone and designed and made simple furniture, and encouraged a modest revival of village life, but still found that their work depended initially on support from industrial concerns in Leicester and Birmingham. Includes interviews with relatives and friends of the Sapperton Group, among them Edward Barnsley, Donald Gimson, Miss Nancy Jewson and Major A. Biddulph. Alfred Wallis - Artist and Mariner Dir Christopher Mason 1973 / 23 min BIOPIC DOCUMENTARY Consists of reminiscences about the painter by surviving friends and relatives from his native town of St Ives, counterpointed by visuals showing the paintings themselves and the real land and seascapes that inspired them. Art in Revolution Dir Lutz Becker Cast Chris Stanley 1972 / 50 min DOCUMENTARY Follows the political situation in the USSR from 1917 to the death of Lenin, tracing the pattern of Soviet creativity during those years by linking the art of the time to the historical events from which it grew, and which it frequently sought both to depict and to stimulate.
