Display artist/maker:

Mary White

Born: 1926, UK, Wales, Torfaen, Croesyceiliog   Died: 2013

Ceramicist. White studied at Goldsmiths College (1949-50) and married the painter Charles White. She lived and worked in South Wales, where she taught art until the mid-1970s. From then she concentrated on ceramics full-time. She specialised in delicate porcelain bowls with wide rims in pastel blues and greens. White also practiced calligraphy and was a fellow of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators, sometimes exhibiting with the organisation.

White moved to Germany in 1980, where she concentrated on organic forms in porcelain. She sometimes incorporated lettering on her ceramics mainly in lustre, but these were unpopular in Germany. White took up calligraphy again in the 1990s and combined the two art forms. She authored ‘Lettering on Ceramics’ (A & C Black, 2003).
