Derek Smith (UK, Australia) ceramics

Derek Smith (1931-2019) was a British-Australian ceramic artist who was known for his functional and decorative pottery. He was born in Birmingham, England, in 1931 and studied ceramics at the Birmingham School of Art. In 1956, he moved to Australia, where he taught ceramics at various schools and established his own studio in Hobart, Tasmania.

Smith's work is characterized by its simple forms, its use of bold colors, and its emphasis on functional design. He often used local materials in his work, such as Australian clays and glazes. His pottery was inspired by a variety of sources, including Japanese ceramics, Aboriginal art, and the work of other contemporary ceramic artists.

Smith's work has been exhibited in major galleries and museums around the world. He has won numerous awards for his work, including the Royal Australian Institute of Architects' Robin Boyd Award for Ceramics in 1992. He more... was also a member of the Australian Ceramic Circle and the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.

Smith died in Hobart, Tasmania, in 2019. His work is still widely admired and collected by ceramic enthusiasts around the world. less...
