'You do not have to be an admirer of Clarice Cliff's pottery to relish Lynn Knight's biography, CLARICE CLIFF. It is a scrupulously researched story of a doughty, working-class woman at the beginning of the twentieth century, particularly between the wars. Her personal and professional life was vivid, brave and ground-breaking, just like her designs' - SHEILA HANCOCK, OBSERVER, BOOKS OF THE YEAR

'Knight deftly uses Cliff's life and work as a way to view broader currents in Britain ... At the centre is Cliff herself, a woman who inspired admiration as well as snobbish opprobrium for her vivid designs and ambitiousness' - FINANCIAL TIMES

'A thoughtful and fascinating biography, packed with fabulous pictures' - IMAGE
