Alfred Powell were intensely interested in the arts and craft movement. Alfred Powell, born in 1865, originally trained as an architect and was particularly interested in taking an active part in encouraging the idea of design and decoration in architecture. In 1903 Alfred Powell visited Etruria after having submitted some designs to the factory. Around 1906 the husband and wife team of Alfred and Louise established a school of free-hand paintresses at Etruria, where the Powells developed free hand designs that could then be applied to items of Wedgwood production by their paintresses. Louise died in 1956, and Alfred in 1960.
