Early life and family [ edit ]
Born in Wellington , New Zealand,[1] [2] [3] William Inman , founder of passenger shipping company, the Inman Line .[4] John Carr .[2]
Clark spent most of his childhood in Nelson [1] Nelson College from 1937 to 1941,[5] [2] In World War II , he initially enlisted in the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force , but subsequently transferred to the Royal Navy . He was present during the Normandy landings , and was mentioned in dispatches .[2]
Ceramics [ edit ]
After the end of the war, Clark remained in Britain and took up an ex-serviceman's scholarship at London's Slade School of Art ,[6] Stanley Spencer .[2] Central School of Arts and Crafts ,[6] Dora Billington ,[7] [6] Goldsmiths' College .[8]
In 1953, Clark and Ann Wynn Reeves, whom he married the following year, founded Kenneth Clark Ceramics in the London district of Fitzrovia . The studio relocated to Lewes in 1989. The couple used their complementary skills in their practice: Ann designed many of the motifs and decorative emblems that Kenneth applied to his ceramics, and he used his technical knowledge to recreate glazes used by William De Morgan .[2] [6] Debenham House , as well as the dairy at Windsor Castle following the 1992 fire .[2]
As well as tiles, Clark made single hand-thrown domestic ware items, and in the 1960s designed for the Denby and Bristol Potteries,[6] [9]
Clark served as chairman of the Society of Designer Craftsmen . In the 1980s he assisted the Romanian government with the revitalisation of the pottery industry in that country, and later played a similar role in Afghanistan.[6]
In the 1990 Queen's Birthday Honours Clark was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to art and design.[10] [2]
Writings [ edit ]
Clark wrote four books on pottery,[6] The Potter's Manual (1983), regarded as a standard reference work in the field,[1] The Tile: Making, Designing and Using , published in 2002.[6]
