Lorna Bailey (England) ceramics

Lorna Bailey was born on 10th February 1978 and was brought up in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. She has lived throughout her life in and around the Newcastle-under-Lyme area, and it is this area from which the majority of the names for her designs are taken. She attended Stoke-on-Trent College leaving with a Blec National Diploma in Design (Ceramics). Stoke-on-Trent College is the successor to the Burslem School of Art where Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper, Charlotte Rhead and Fredrick Rhead and Mabel Leigh amongst others, all studied. Her designs are manufactured by L. J. B. Ceramics, where she worked while still studying at college. Lorna Bailey's bold, striking designs are often compared with those of Clarice Cliff
