1887-88: Paul Gauguin (1848- 1903) produces his own studio pottery, developing a technique of hand-sculpting clay without using a potter’s wheel.
1890-1918: George Ohr (1857-1918) makes sculptural work on the wheel at Biloxi, Mississippi. Dying unrecognised, Ohr is now seen as a groundbreaking potter and his work much sought after today.
