EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a skilled potter deftly shapes a pot on the potter's wheel at Poole Pottery in the 1930s. The Poole Pottery factory, founded in 1873 and located on the quayside of Poole, Dorset, England, was renowned for its handmade pottery. The artist, with her wavy hair cascading down her back, concentrates intently as she shapes the clay, her hands moving in perfect harmony with the spinning wheel. The pottery industry was a significant part of Poole's history, and this image captures the traditional techniques and craftsmanship that went into creating each piece. The potter's wheel, a fundamental tool in the production of pottery, allows the potter to shape the clay evenly and symmetrically. The potter's hands, guided by years of experience and a deep understanding of the clay, manipulate the material to create the desired form. The pottery produced during this era was known for its distinctive wavy lines and organic shapes, reflecting the artisan nature of the process. Despite the passage of time, this photograph transports us back to an era when industry and craftsmanship were intertwined. The Poole Pottery factory, which continued to produce pottery by hand until 1999, was a testament to the enduring appeal of this ancient craft. Though the factory operations have since moved away from the quay, the legacy of Poole Pottery lives on, a reminder of the rich history and tradition of English pottery.
