Matthew Darbyshire: The W.A. Ismay Collection - An Interview with Alan Firth

'Matthew Darbyshire: The W.A. Ismay Collection' brings together one of Britain's most exciting contemporary artists, Matthew Darbyshire, with one of the world's most significant assemblages of post-war studio pottery, the W.A. Ismay Collection. Librarian and collector William Alfred Ismay (1910-2001) lived in Wakefield his whole life. From 1955 he began to collect pieces by some of the most renowned makers of studio pottery from Hans Coper and Shoji Hamada to works by local Yorkshire potters, Barbara Cass and Joan Hotchin, alongside lesser known ceramicists. York Museums Trust has produced a series of video interviews featuring collectors, curators and potters who knew W.A. Ismay. In this video interview, collector Alan Firth talks of learning about collecting studio pottery from Ismay. Matthew Darbyshire: The W.A. Ismay Collection at The Hepworth Wakefield until 26 January 2014 is developed in partnership with York Museums Trust. A film by Jonny Walton/Kapture.
