Elsie M. Currie (active 1917-1925)
Elsie Currie trained at the Durban Art School under John Adams and John Oxley. She was awarded the first Emma Smith Scholarship in 1920 and between 1921 and 1923 trained as a potter at the Royal College of Art, London. After her return to South Africa, she worked at the Ceramic Studio, Olifantsfontein, with Joan Methley.
This pair of tiles went into the first set firing of the new kiln at the Durban Art School in 1917.
