She was born into a working-class Staffordshire family in 1899 and was sent to work in the potteries aged just 13 before going on to become one of the country’s most influential ceramicists. Now Clarice Cliff has inspired a feature film that will show how she broke the mould in the pottery industry, revolutionising the workplace and bringing art to the masses with plates, jugs and teapots that were as affordable as they were colourful.
In the Sky Original production, to be announced on Wednesday, she will be portrayed by Phoebe Dynevor, who played Daphne the debutante in Netflix’s hit series Bridgerton. The factory owner Colley Shorter, who recognised Cliff’s talent, sending her to the Royal College of Art in London and setting her up in her own studio, will be depicted by Matthew Goode whosefilms include The Imitation Game.
