ProvenanceThis object was originally acquired for the Inner London Education Authority’s (ILEA) ‘Circulating Design Scheme’ collection.
This object was originally acquired from The Craftsman Potters Association.
The collection was instigated by the London Country Council (later the Greater London Council) and the Council of Industrial Design (COID). The collection’s original purpose was concerned with the teaching and dissemination of modern, ‘good design’.
The collection was established in 1951/52 as the ‘Experiment in Design Appreciation’, later renamed the ‘Circulating Design Scheme’.
The Circulating Design Scheme lent boxed showcases to London schools. The showcases contained handling objects, material samples and interpretation on a specific subject.
COID withdrew its involvement in the Scheme in 1957. After which time, it was managed exclusively by the London County Council from 1957-1963.
After the administrative restructuring of London authorities, the Scheme was jointly managed by the Greater London Council and the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) from 1963 – 1976.
The Scheme was operational until 1976 when the collections were withdrawn from circulation. ILEA was abolished in the late 1980s and the collection was donated to Camberwell College of Arts in 1989/90.
ILEA was responsible for secondary and tertiary education in the inner London boroughs, this included Camberwell.

NotesHaving met at Harrow School of Arts in the 1950s, Bryan Newman and his wife Julie set up a pottery in Dulwich, South London in the early 1960s. The pair produced earthenware and stoneware pots; Bryan is regarded as one of the leading exponents of sculptural forms in stoneware. He made hand-built architectural, sculptural pieces such as cityscapes and bridges. In 1966, they moved to the village of Aller in Somerset where they set up the Aller Pottery.
This object was circulated to London schools as part of the Inner London Education Authority’s (I.L.E.A) Circulating Design Scheme, which operated from 1951-1976. The mug by Bryan Newman featured in the ‘Pottery by Hand Surface Decoration’ group in case number 2. The boxed showcase introduces types of surface decoration of pottery, including glazing, simple glazing, underglazing, overglazing and the wax-resist technique. This object was originally acquired from The Craftsman Potters Association. The associated record card indicates the boxed showcase was in use from 1967-76.
