Alan Caiger-Smith MBE (born 1930) is a British studio potter and writer on pottery. Life and workCaiger-Smith was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He studied at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts and read history at King's College, Cambridge (1949-1952). He trained in pottery at the Central School of Art & Design in 1954 under Dora Billington.[1] According to Grove Art, Alan Caiger-Smith established the Aldermaston Pottery in 1955, "a cooperative workshop of about seven potters making functional domestic ware and tiles, as well as individual commissions and one-off pots. He used tin glaze and painted pigments on red earthenware clay, and the firing of lustres on to tin glazes."[2] However, in Lustre Pottery, Caiger-Smith refers to earlier revivals of lustre by William de Morgan, Vilmos Zsolnay, Clément Massier and Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian Pottery.[3] He was joined at Aldermaston Pottery by a number of other potters, including Geoffrey Eastop (1921–2014).[4] Alan Caiger-Smith's book on Tin-Glaze Pottery (1973) covers its history and much of its technique.[5] He co-translated and annotated with R.W. Lightbown a detailed contemporary description of the materials and methods of Renaissance maiolica, Cipriano Piccolpasso's I Tre Libre Dell'Arte Del Vasaio (The Three Books of the Potter’s Art) (1980). His history of lustre ware, Lustre Pottery, was published in 1985. Caiger-Smith was Chairman of the British Crafts Centre (1973–1978) and was awarded the MBE in 1988.[1] He ceased employing assistants in 1993 to concentrate on personal work and in 2006 announced his decision to sell the Aldermaston Pottery.[6] Bibliography
