Research into the history of salt-glaze drew my attention to a piece which belongs to the V&A, but was currently on display elsewhere on the day of the handling session . This is the deathbed figure of Lydia Dwight ('dyed March 3, 1673), a memorial to the potter John Dwight's young daughter. The poignancy of this piece were an inspiration to creating a memorial to my father, who died on the bowling green at Pateley Bridge on July 27, 1993.' |
