Handmade Pottery
After virtual extinction in the 19th century, the 8,000 year old art of the craftsman potter has undergone a remarkable revival in Britain in recent years.
Though mass production methods - including moulding and decoration by transfer - still dominate the market place, traditional techniques are increasingly used to produce a rich diversity of work. This ranges from practical and modestly priced pieces to major works of art commanding thousands of pounds at auction.
Bernard Leach is regarded as the founding father and great inspiration of the revival. He spent many years of study in Japan before returning to Britain in 1920. He and other pioneers established workshops that concentrated on earthenware and stoneware kitchen pots with form rather than decoration the priority. The post-war years have seen increased attention to porcelain and one-off pieces.
Most handmade pottery is thrown on the potter's wheel, though slab building, pinching, coiling and other hand building techniques are often used - sometimes incorporating some casting. Many pots show a strong oriental influence. Gradually, however the focus is turning towards traditional British styles and new stylistic departures.
Hand building techniques are now used to produce pieces ranging from the abstract sculptural to figurines, birds, animals and even jewellery, always striving for a freshness and individuality that is simply impossible with mass production.
