Clarice Cliff was a pioneering British ceramicist who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on the Art Deco movement. Born into a working-class family in 1899, Clarice’s artistic talent and relentless ambition propelled her from a factory apprentice to an internationally celebrated designer.
We explore her groundbreaking “Bizarre” ware, the bold colors and geometric patterns that revolutionized pottery in the 1920s and ‘30s, and how she carved out a space for herself in a male-dominated industry. Her journey wasn’t just about creating beautiful ceramics—it was about innovation, resilience, and breaking societal norms.
Listen to the story behind the woman who turned everyday tableware into collectible works of art.
