Val Barry

Born: 1937, UK, England, South Yorkshire, Barnsley   Died: 2018

Ceramicist and sculptor. Barry trained at the Sir John Cass School of Art in the late 1960s before setting up a studio in Crouch End, North London making individual hand-built pieces in stoneware and porcelain. Barry’s work combined a naturalness of form with a calmness of surface texture.

For many years Barry was a member of the Craft Potters Association. Barry gave up ceramics in the mid-1980s, obtaining a grant from the Crafts Council to study and work in bronze and working under the name Valerie Fox. She retired and settled in Teignmouth in 1997.
