  • English Slipware Pottery
    24 GETTING THINGS DONE NAN MUSGROVE is a young potter working in the English Slipware tradition. She trained in the workshop of John Pollex, one of the best-known contemporary slipware potters, and moved to Marsden, near Huddersfield, in March 1979 to establish her own workshop. Training in slipware was a deliberate choice for her, partly because it gives great scope for decoration and partly because she responds to its intrinsic 'Englishness'.

Trapp Interviews Conducted by Harriet Nathan in 1998-1999 Copyright 2003 by The Regents of the University of California has been Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Gyongy Laky, dated October 21, 1999. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • A Contested Dialogue Modern and Contemporary Ceramics
    AFRICA AND THE WEST: A CONTESTED DIALOGUE IN MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS KIM TRACY BAGLEY PhD 2014 AFRICA AND THE WEST: A CONTESTED DIALOGUE IN MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS KIM TRACY BAGLEY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2014 The University of Brighton Abstract This practice-led research in the field of handmade ceramics explores what Africa means and how it is represented in ceramic practice. This is addressed through two research questions. The first is how can ceramics be used to picture, interpret and understand contemporary Africa? The second is what does ‘Africa’ or ‘African-ness’ mean in modern and contemporary ceramic practice set in various contexts, institutional and otherwise? The two questions address the construction and representation of African-ness respectively. There are many different grounds for understanding African-ness which are explored in detail. The critical approach is drawn from postcolonial theory and covers ceramic practice from mid-century to the present in South Africa, Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The research was conducted by a ceramist with other makers in mind. A number of detailed examples or case studies are explored in writing, making and displaying ceramics. This includes the researcher’s own ceramic practice which functions as both a case study and an investigation in itself. As an investigation, the theme of clay-as-skin was tested as an example of an appropriate metaphor for expressing ideas about African-ness using ceramics. The practice extends and has a reiterative relationship to the written work.
