Centenary of International Women's Day marked using Brighton image

The University of Brighton Design Archives celebrates 100 years of International Women's Day on March 8th. An image of the pioneering potter Norah Braden (1901-2001) from the Brighton School of Art archive contributes to a display at Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery about 20th century potters which runs until 8 May.

Braden, a protégée of Bernard Leach and Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie, taught at Brighton School of Art from the 1930s to the 1940s, and has an entry in the 150th Anniversary book celebrating Art and Design at Brighton 1859-2009, where this portrait appeared.
