Howard Kiefer and Deborah Lipmany Elkton, OR Fire and Hope On Friday, October 10, we had finished loading most of the pottery into the Hikarigama, with plans of closing and lighting the kiln the next day. As we were relaxing and anticipating the firing, we heard odd noises coming from the gallery. Before we knew what was happening, the entire building (several feet from us) was engulfed in flames. Although the cause of the fire is unknown, it is important to note that it was not started by the kiln, which had not yet been lit. The fire department was able to contain the fire, but not before it consumed the entire studio and gallery. Fortunately, nobody was physically injured. We cannot begin to understand the loss that Hiroshi has suffered. Anticipating his annual studio sale, he had filled his gallery with pottery, all of which was destroyed. All of his studio equipment—including wheels, kilns, books, extruder and pug mill—is gone. Virtually nothing was salvageable. I am happy to report, however, that the rebuilding process has already begun. Hiroshi has been overwhelmed by the amount of love and support that has poured in. With help from the Elkton community, the debris has been cleared and materials are being gathered for the construction of the new Ogawa pottery and gallery, and we plan on firing the kiln early in December. Sam Hoffman, Corvallis, OR Ogawa Contributions Most potters in the Pacific Northwest are familiar with Hiroshi Ogawa, as he has been a contributing member of our community for many, many years. More recently, he has risen in national stature for his recent work in the more traditional methods of Japanese wood-fired ceramics.

  • Burslem Building Improvement Scheme (THI 3) Progress of Works
    Burslem Building Improvement Scheme (THI 3) Progress of works Wedgwood Institute, Queen Street, Burslem Art school and library originally completed in 1863 with additions in 1869 and 1880 - this Grade II* listed brick and terracotta building has a richly ornamented façade and is arguably the most impressive looking building in the city. It is currently closed and some emergency repairs have been carried out. Proposals for the future use of the building are being discussed. Built in stages from 1859, by public subscription, and at an estimated cost of around £4,000, this remarkable building is named after Burslem’s iconic pottery-maker Josiah Wedgwood. The building stands on the site of the Brick House Works, which were rented by Wedgwood from 1762 to 1770. Original plans for the institute were created by G.B Nichols. The foundation stone was laid on 26th October 1863 by future Prime Minister William Gladstone. The amazing façade features designs by Robert Edgar and John Lockwood Kipling (father of novelist, Rudyard Kipling). It memorialises Wedgwood and celebrates the achievements of the enlightenment movement. It includes inlaid sculptures of pottery workers and processes, zodiac-sign mosiacs, terracotta panels that illustrate each month of the year, and a statue of Wedgwood himself. It also features portraits of Wedgwood’s fellow ‘principal’ Lunar Society colleagues - sculptor John Flaxman, scientist Joseph Priestly, business partner and industrialist Thomas Bentley. The Wedgwood Institute became a centre of excellence for the arts, sciences and business. It provided classes for the working men of the community. Notable students included novelist Arnold Bennett, ceramicist Graham Moorcroft, and physicist/ inventor Oliver Lodge.

  • 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.
