Glenys Barton
A native of the Potteries, Glenys trained at the Royal College of Art in the Ceramics School. She was the British prize-winner at the International Ceramics Exhibition, 1972. In 1976 she was invited to become ‘Artist in Residence’ at the Barlaston factory by Sir Arthur Bryan. She produced a series of sculpturally inspired plaques and figures in bone china and black basalt, which mainly featured the male nude figure, the torso or the head, in geometric and architectural settings. Some 30 individual subjects in all were produced, culminating in an exhibition of Barton’s work that was shown by the Craft Advisory Committee.
