Expand description
When Cliff (1899-1972) married in 1940, she moved to an Arts and Crafts home in the English countryside with a five-acre garden. There, she learned how to grow the flowers her "Bizarre girls" had been painting on her pottery. Her delight in gardening is revealed here in never-before-published extracts from Cliff's personal letters, and in her own gorgeous photographs of her garden, reproduced from the original transparencies for the first time.
A wealth of colorplates display Cliff's vibrant works. With a glossary and directory of floral designs, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the private world of one of the 20th century's most important ceramic artists.
