Art Identity and Anonymity
A paper by
Harry Davis published by the Potters' Society of Australia in the Spring
1972 edition of Pottery in Australia (Vol. 11. No. 2).
The Potters Alternative
The
introduction to Harry Davis' book, The Potters Alternative, gives a
good indication of how he viewed the Studio Pottery movement,
as 'led' by Bernard Leach. Although he used the design style he formed
at the Leach Pottery for the rest of his working life, he had no time
for the artistic 'posing' that went on there.
Glazes and Pigments
Also from
The Potters Alternative, this gives an
idea of the materials Harry Davis used to achieve the very distinctive glazes
and colours of Crowan and Crewenna pots.
