In 1960, he met and married the Australian potter Gwyn Hanssen Piggott (then Gwyn John), who taught him to throw; they set up a studio together in Westbourne Grove, London and both exhibited to acclaim at Liberty, Heal's and Primavera, then London's premier craft and design shop. The couple separated in 1965 and Hanssen died suddenly in 1968 from an accidental drugs overdose. While his output was perforce limited, Hanssen’s work is of exceptional quality. The influence of Lucie Rie, a friend who he and Gwyn met while attending classes at Camberwell School of Art, is apparent; and he also drew on the work of other contemporary ceramic artists, including Emmanuel Cooper, to whom he gave this pot. Cooper later included it in the seminal Crafts Council exhibition, 'The Maker’s Eye' (1982). reference term-107318 adlib-term-107318 d27559f3-e90c-35cd-b7e4-46eaeb9ac521 20th Century reference term-136492 adlib-term-136492 187ac8a0-7310-30db-a97f-9948fbe45855 literal England England country literal London London region Westbourne Grove reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Height cm 24 reference term-127506 adlib-term-127506 cc280b8e-503c-300a-839a-94455a5953a0 Jar and cover reference term-134777 adlib-term-134777 95ebd367-2e5d-3d17-a899-8009e7c327bb Lidded jar history note Given by Louis Hanssen to the potter Emmanuel Cooper.
