Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Rupert Spira studied Ceramics at West Surrey College of Art and Design interspersed with a two-year period as studio assistant to Michael Cardew (1901–83). Between 1984 and 1996 he established and ran Froyle Pottery in Hampshire producing a highly successful range of domestic tableware and tiles drawing on a strong knowledge of South East Asian glazes. Spira established a studio under his own name in Shropshire in 1996, from which he developed his international profile as maker of both simple tableware and monumental bowls, jars and cylinder forms, which have won awards in major centres of ceramic art such as Faenza in Italy, Korea and Japan. The presence and quality of these individual works drew on Spira’s disciplined study of ceramic arts from many cultures and his wider reading of histories of thought and art. Words first appeared on Spira’s pots as thought-poems of his own making but gradually developed as calligraphic gestures, based on the words of other poets and writers which guided the inscriptions but remained illegible on the final work. In this particular approach to words, Spira can be seen attempting to layer meaning in ways reminiscent of the work of the seventeenthcentury Japanese potter Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743) or the repetitive Qur’anic inscriptions found on certain Islamic pots. Since 2007, Spira’s work has developed away from the pottery studio towards writing and lecturing within the philosophical and spiritual tradition of ‘non-duality’. reference term-109891
