Seth Cardew

Born: 1934, UK, England, Gloucestershire, Winchcombe    Died: 2016

Ceramicist. Seth Cardew was one of three sons of Michael Cardew. He studied painting at Chelsea School of Art and later sculpture at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. He worked as a sculptor and model maker at Pinewood Studios, a career he was forced to abandon due to pressure from his family to work at Wenford Bridge Pottery.

Cardew moved to Cornwall in 1970 to assist his father and took over the running of Wenford Bridge on his father’s death in 1983. He was a polymath and was talented in music and literature as well as art. He was especially skilled in his brushwork and decoration.
