  • The Employment of Matter: Pottery of the Omega Workshops
    Julian Stair The Employment of Matter: Pottery of the Omega Workshops Among professional artists there is … a vague idea that a man can still remain a gentleman if he paints bad pictures, but must forfeit the conven- tional right to his Esquire if he makes good pots or serviceable furniture., Pottery design in Britain at the beginning of the twentieth century was consid- ered to be in a perilous state, caught between the tail end of the Arts and Crafts movement – the ‘unornamental “ornaments” with which thoughtless people crowd their living rooms’* – and the unchecked might, or ‘decadence’,- of Stoke-on-Trent.. Christopher Dresser’s striking ceramic designs for Minton and the Linthorpe Art Pottery in the ,//0s had rarely escaped a stifling his- toricism; William de Morgan finally gave up potting to write novels in ,10+; and only a few small independent firms such as the Ruskin Pottery, which specialised in flamboyantly glazed vases in imitation of late Chinese porcelain, continued production (fig. ,., p. */). Despite the success of the Arts and Crafts movement in revitalising handicraft, pottery did not enjoy the success of other disciplines. As Alan Crawford writes, ‘pottery and weaving … before the war had been somehow less spectacular than the movement’s furniture and metalwork’.2 Although capable of embodying the immediacy of handwork, the transformation of the artist-craftsman’s sensibility into clay proved elusive. In this context, why did Roger Fry encourage the Omega Workshops to venture into the unfashionable and technically challenging

  • ICRC Bloomsbury in Dorset
    Bloomsbury in Dorset: Manufacturing Modernisms at Poole Pottery 1914-1939 James King Abstract This essay evaluates the pursuit by Poole Pottery (the firm was called Carter, Stabler and Adams during most of the time period discussed here) of a variety of modernist aesthetics from 1914 to 1939 and argues that Poole's incorporation of various types of modernist fine art into its wares owes a great deal to its association with the Omega Workshops in the 1910s. Poole's involvement from about 1914 to after 1916 with Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant may be well documented1, but this essay speculates that Poole's indebtedness to the Omega Workshops and its adherence to Post- Impressionism is more pervasive and longer lasting than previously argued. More specifically, it also argues, that in the instance of Poole's most celebrated designer, Truda Carter, the Bloomsbury influence was transformative: when she arrived at Poole, she refined the work of James Radley Young, who had worked directly with the Omega Workshops. His geometrically inspired designs did not ultimately suit her, and she achieved her own distinct look by incorporating high modernist and post-impressionist design in her wares. In using the term high modernist, I am referring to pottery that deliberately incorporates borrowings from cubism and vorticism as design elements; I use the term Post-Impressionist to refer to design elements that specifically utilize naturalist elements while at the same time exaggerating them to push them in the direction of abstraction. KEY WORDS: Truda Carter, modernism, Post-Impressionist design, Poole Pottery ‘A More or Less Experiment’ Poole stood apart from its competitors because of its location in Dorset, far removed from the Potteries in Staffordshire.
