The University of Brighton Design Archives celebrates 100 years of International Women’s Day on March 8th. An image of the pioneering potter Norah Braden (1901-2001) from the Brighton School of Art archive contributes to a display at Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery about 20th century potters which runs until 8 May.
Braden, a protégée of Bernard Leach and Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie, taught at Brighton School of Art from the 1930s to the 1940s, and has an entry in the 150th Anniversary book celebrating Art and Design at Brighton 1859-2009, where this portrait appeared.
