Truda Carter (1890–1958), alongside her first husband John Adams, is a designer associated with the Art Deco pottery that characterized Poole Pottery during the inter-war years of the Twentieth Century. Born Gertrude Ethel Sharp, Truda was the youngest of 7 children, her father being the entomologist David Sharp. Truda studied Applied Art at the Royal College of Art in London, where she met and married ceramicist, John Adams in 1915. Following their marriage they moved to South Africa, to teach at the School of Art at Durban Technical College, establishing a pottery section at the college, and it is likely that Truda learnt much of her pottery skills from her husband during this period.〔Anne Wilkinson ''Poole Twintone and Tableware - A History and Collectors Guide'', Cortex Designs, United Kingdom, 2009.〕 Returning to Britain Truda and John joined the pottery at Poole in 1921, with the formation of the new company "Carter, Stabler and Adams Ltd" by its directors Cyril Carter (who Truda was later to marry), Harold Stabler and John Adams.〔Jennifer Hawkins ''The Poole Potteries'' Barrie & Jenkins Ltd, London, 1980.〕 Initially adapting the designs of her predecessor at Poole Pottery, James Radley Young, Carter went on to develop more complex patterns with clear influences from European Art Deco pottery and prints, as well as contemporary abstract modernist painting. Carter created the vast majority of the patterns that decorate Poole Pottery during the 1920s and 30’s. It is these brightly coloured, loosely floral, abstract designs for which she is best known. Truda Carter remained resident designer at Poole Pottery until her retirement in 1950.〔Leslie Hayward and Paul Atterbury (Ed) ''Poole Pottery - Carter and Company and Their Successors, 1873-2002'' Richard Denis, Somerset, 2002〕 ==See also== * Clarice Cliff * Susie Cooper * Charlotte Rhead 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Truda Carter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
