Bitossi ceramic bull sculpture Phenomenon of Mid Century design The development of Mid Century design was the result of a convergence of numerous artistic influences that began at the turn of the 2oth century. The shifting visual narrative included Brancusi's brilliant streamlined sculptures, Alexander Archipenko's constructivist forms and abstract sculptures from Henri Laurens, Jacques Lipchitz, and Osip Zadkine.

This can be further enhanced by their love of creativity and the

In 2011, the Archie Bray Foundation held a live auction called From The Centre To The Edge to celebrate 60 years of innovation and creativity in the ceramic arts at their wonderful facility. Based at Helena in Montana, the foundation offers residencies and specialized workshops to ceramic artists from around the world.

Ceramic platter - Anne James, UK studiopottery.co.uk Art plates in abundance One of the earliest Egyptian Gods, Khnum, was quite often depicted in their temple art as sitting at a potter's wheel, creating objects with Nile clay. The status of clay objects were elevated by this association, along with the reverence extended to the clay figurines of the Egyptian deities and the widespread use of ceramic vessels in their rituals and food offerings to their Gods. Ancient Egyptian art contains many images of gifts of food such as grapes, wine, sheaves of wheat, cakes, bread and
