Jack spent the war as headmaster of Beckenham one on the most innovative and exciting Art schools of the40’s & 50’s. After the War the 2 brothers bought and re opened the Rye Pottery where Wally ‘s passion for simplicity and naturalness proved a winner for Rye in that many of his tableware designs continue in use to the present day, while .Jack was the th inker & motivator with more ideas tumbling out his head in a day than the pottery could ever manage to produce! They also saw the potential of several traditional designs which had been produced at Rye from the 19th c onwards - the 3 sizes of jugs still going strong today in their blue or pink cottage stripes are good examples of this link with Rye’s past.
