Notes
The Ceramic Studio, renamed Linn Ware in 1943, was founded on Sir Thomas Cullinan's farm Olifantsfontein outside Johannesburg. The area had rich deposits of clay and lime which made it ideally situated for a ceramic factory. It was staffed mostly by women students from the Durban School of Art, several of whom studied further at the Royal College of Art, London.
The Studio closed in the late 1950s but left behind a body of beautiful work that is highly collectable today.
