The following information was Submitted by Margaret Frith :’David and Margaret Frith set up their first workshop in Denbigh 1963. Their reputations are well established. David with his mastery of the potter’s wheel makes large pieces decorated with his personal style of hakeme, rope impress and waxed motifs under heavy reduction overglazes and combined with ashed surfaces. Both are Fellows of the Craft Potters Association and David is a selected member of the Crafts Council. They have work in many private and public collections and exhibit widely in the UK and abroad. They have lectured overseas and given workshops in Europe, Africa, India, America, Japan, Israel and New Zealand. For over thirty years they have also held workshops where students can enjoy intensive tuition in delightful surroundings. The art of reduction fired stoneware and porcelain came from the Orient and reached its height in the Sung to Ming Dynasties in China. Bernard Leach, born 1887, the father of the British Studio movement united the aesthetics of East and West and along with his student, Michael Cardew, his son David and others, started a tradition of high fired ceramics in this country. Although emphasis and ideology change, the tradition remains strong and its development is apparent in the Frith’s workshop where the search for the finest quality high-fired glazes involves refining and grinding the minerals and ball-milling the glazes for several hours’.
