Gordon Forsyth
Gordon Mitchell Forsyth (1879–1952) was a Scottish ceramic designer.
==Biography==
Born in Fraserburgh, he attended the Gray's School of Art, in Aberdeen and the Royal College of Art. Moving in 1903 to Stoke-on-Trent, he became art director of the tileworks Minton Hollins & Co, where he began a career which "spanned over forty years and left an indelible mark on the ceramic industry of Staffordshire.".〔Anne Eatwell, ''Artists as Educators,'' The Journal of the Decorative Arts Society 1850 to the present, Number 13 (1989)〕 In 1906 he moved to take the same position at Pilkington's Tile & Pottery Company near Manchester. He returned to Pilkington's after service in the First World War. However, in 1920 he became Superintendent of Art Instruction in Stoke-on-Trent, a role which involved responsibility for several art schools.〔(''Gordon Forsyth'' )〕
Forsyth was the tutor of a number of notable students at the Burslem School of Art including Susie Cooper,〔(Andrew Casey, ''Elegance with Utility: The work of Susie Cooper (1902-1995)'' )〕 Glyn Colledge, Clarice Cliff, Charlotte Rhead, and Mabel Leigh. At that time, Forsyth was described as a "pottery designer, educator and writer...and one of the main spokespersons on industrial pottery design."〔Jerry Palmer & Mo Dodson, ''Design and Aesthetics: a Reader,'' London: Routledge, 1995, p.210〕 And the pivotal role he played in British ceramic design has inspired some to call him "the magus of the mid-twentieth century pottery industry."〔S. Beddoe, ''Potters and Paintresses: Women Designers in the Pottery Industry 1870–1955,'' Jnl Design History (1990) 3 (2-3): 197-198〕
