Thesis, “IMAGE AND MYTH OF CREATION IN THE WORK OF MARC CHAGALL” 1990 David Seeger He was born in Bradford. He has become well known for his ceramics, having been introduced as a little lad to the medium in the mid Forties by being taken by his grandmother to see traditional country potter Isaac Button at Soil Hill Pottery, Denholm, near Halifax, fortified by further trips there with school. In 1955 he went to Leeds College of Art, and was privileged to be selected as one of a dozen students to participate from the start in Harry Thubron’s experimental introduction of twentieth century art into fine art education. Thubron appointed him to the teaching team in 1964. He contributed to the spectacular upsurge in creative revolution that took place in the Leeds Fine Art course; his expertise was centred in the ceramics studios, where the new, unconventional attitude expanded the many exciting new ways of making art in fired clay. He took early retirement from teaching in 1988 and moved to West Cork in 1990 where he continues making sculpture and pottery as well as painting and drawing. He is a member of Society of Cork Potters. www.corkpotters.
