Aberystwyth University’s Ceramic Collection is one of the major collections of studio ceramics in Britain and is particularly noted for its studio pottery of the period 1920-1940. The ceramics were originally part of the Arts and Crafts Museum of the University initially funded by the Davies sisters of Gregynog, Newtown.
The collection has fine examples of pottery by Bernard Leach, Michael Cardew, Katharine Pleydell-Bouverie, Norah Braden, Charles and Nell Vyse, William Staite Murray and Reginald Wells . The main collection was formed between 1920-1936 and since 1974 there has again been an active acquisitions policy and there is now a major collection of contemporary ceramics, including British, European, American, and Japanese studio pottery, 18th & 19th century Welsh and English slip ware, Swansea and Nantgarw porcelain, Art Pottery and Oriental ceramics.
In 1986 the display area was extended and a purpose built gallery was created on the ground floor of Aberystwyth Arts Centre where there is an ongoing programme of exhibitions and events. The Ceramic Collection is now more than ever at the heart of teaching at the School of Art, as a teaching and research resource for staff and student.
