Clarice Cliff (20 January 1899 – 23 October 1972) was an English ceramic artist active from 1922 to 1963. She began as an apprentice potter. By reason of her talent and ability, she became a ceramic artist, becoming the head of the factory artistic department. == Early life == The Cliff family moved to Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, from the Eccleshall area in about 1725. Cliff was born in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, England. When Clarice was born their home was on Meir Street on a terrace of modest houses. Cliff's father Harry worked at the local iron foundry in Tunstall, her mother Ann took in washing to supplement the family income, and they had seven children.〔Wentworth-Sheilds Peter, Johnson Kay: ''Clarice Cliff'', L'Odeon publishing 1976/1981〕 Cliff was sent to a different school from her siblings, and this perhaps prompted her more independent approach to her career, and her non-standard life style by Stoke-on-Trent standards. After school Cliff would visit aunts who were hand painters〔The decorating shops in many Staffordshire factories were in this era almost totally staffed by women on 7 year 'apprenticeships' who were called ''hand painters''. They produced top quality work at an apprentice price which gave them job security. The term is still correct in Staffordshire, though the art of hand painting onto ware is now rarely seen commercially〕 at a local pottery company, and she also made models from papier-mâché at school.〔Wentworth-Sheilds Peter, Johnson Kay: ''Clarice Cliff'', L'Odeon publishing 1976/1981〕 At the age of 13, Cliff started working in the pottery industry. Her first work was as a gilder, adding gold lines on ware of traditional design. Once she had mastered this she changed jobs to learn freehand painting at another potbank,〔A Staffordshire term for a pottery factory, probably because they had a 'bank' of clay for making the 'pots'〕 at the same time studying art and sculpture at the Burslem School of Art in the evenings.
