She trained at the Central School of Art & Design and the Royal College of Art, where one of her tutors was Hans Coper. She has taught at the RCA for many years and is also well known as a curator, writer and lecturer. In the early 1970s, Britton played a significant part in the shift away from thrown, functional , studio ceramics towards more colourful, expressive, hand-built wares. In 1990 she was awarded an OBE in recognition of her services to the applied arts. Britton’s abstract, gestural mark making and painterly application of slips blurs the line between art and craft. In her own words: ‘ the improvised relationship between the painted surface and the irregular form is what continues to engage me”. This piece was made for 'Alison Britton: Content and Form', a solo retrospective of Britton's work at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was a major piece within the group of new works made for the show. and is an excellent example of her recent work. reference term-109891 adlib-term-109891 ad6efeb2-90e2-3107-ada3-8348ed09c40f 21st Century, Early reference term-119801 adlib-term-119801 9c3b01e1-e276-3275-ac22-1b7c03dad449 Elizabeth I reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country London reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Depth cm 29.5 Height cm 57.5 Width cm 38 reference media-205060 adlib-media-205060 2f2fbde3-5af0-3b2f-8397-8217b93f0a2b jpeg aa/aa37/C_15_2017_1_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 775 1702926303226 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_C_15_2017_1_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 661 width pixels 500 1702926303226 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/C_15_2017_1_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 775 1702926303226 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_C_15_2017_1_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 331 width pixels 250 1702926303226 1 image 0 media image reference media-205061 adlib-media-205061 ea8c4768-c33a-3c60-9a78-530a32dd32d7 jpeg aa/aa37/C_15_2017_2_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1702926424806 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_C_15_2017_2_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 666 width pixels 500 1702926424806 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/C_15_2017_2_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1702926424806 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_C_15_2017_2_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1702926424806 1 image 1 media image reference media-205062 adlib-media-205062 1b3dbb0a-0771-3793-8694-14eacd56ed33 jpeg aa/aa37/C_15_2017_3_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 757 1702926560101 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_C_15_2017_3_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 677 width pixels 500 1702926560101 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/C_15_2017_3_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 757 1702926560101 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_C_15_2017_3_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 339 width pixels 250 1702926560101 1 image 2 media image reference media-205063 adlib-media-205063 86bcd5ac-3c1a-352a-bc8c-a27a9733a3af jpeg aa/aa37/large_C_15_2017_4_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 746 width pixels 1024 1702926668422 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_C_15_2017_4_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 364 width pixels 499 1702926668422 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/C_15_2017_4_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 747 width pixels 1025 1702926668422 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_C_15_2017_4_201708_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 182 width pixels 250 1702926668422 1 image 3 media image reference term-89389 adlib-term-89389 c00f24e8-508b-3432-9eec-6ddac5df8732 jar reference term-89198 adlib-term-89198 9b93ca03-061f-3c1c-a79f-707511cc4791 vessel history note Purchased from Alison Britton, OBE, Marsden Woo Gallery, 229 Ebury Street, London, SW1W 8UT. 1 same maker reference object-221633 adlib-object-221633 e58f805e-12bd-3a92-af05-0e0ba15e3dbf
