The remarkable collection of the UK's most prolific collector of postwar British studio pottery. In the latter half of the twentieth century, "professional Yorkshireman" W. A. Ismay (1910–2001) amassed over 3,600 pieces by more than 500 potters. Surrounded by his family of pots, he lived in a tiny terraced house in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and left his collection and its associated archive to the city of York upon his death. This eclectic group of works contains objects created by many of the most significant potters working in the United Kingdom, including Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Bernard Leach, and Michael Cardew, as well as lesser-known makers. With new academic research into this little-studied collection and archive, Yorkshire Tea Ceremony explores Ismay's journey as a collector and offers fresh perspectives on a marginalized area of British Modernism. Tracing the collection's journey from private to public ownership illuminates issues surrounding the acquisition and reveals the transformative effect it has had on both curatorial practice and the ambition of regional public institutions. The W. A. Ismay Collection offers a well-documented example of the valuable contribution collectors can make to the British studio ceramics movement. Published to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the collection's move from private to public ownership, this volume accompanies an exhibition at York Art Gallery's Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA).

Erilainen perhesaaga monikulttuurisesta Englannista On vuoden 1975 kylmin yö. Robbie Fitzgerald juoksee paniikissa pitkin lumen saartamia katuja kaupungin pahamaineisimmilla kulmilla. Hän juoksee pelastaakseen henkensä ja tuoreen perheensä – tietäen että heillä ei ole juurikaan mahdollisuuksia selvitä. Unelma-avioliitto tamiliprinsessan kanssa on suistunut taisteluksi köyhyyttä, ennakkoluuloja ja naapuruston vihaa vastaan. Yön tapahtumat sysäävät liikkeelle ketjun, jonka vaikutukset tuntuvat vielä seuraavassa sukupolvessa. Helen Walsh (s. 1977) on ottanut aimo askeleen eteenpäin esikoiskirjansa Lutkan jälkeen. Englantilaisessa tragediassa hän marssittaa esiin monikulttuurisen perheen toiveineen, saavutuksineen ja pettymyksineen. Fitzgeraldin perhe jää elämään mieleen vielä pitkäksi aikaa kirjan sulkemisen jälkeen. BBC2 on tekemässä Englantilaisesta tragediasta kolmiosaista tv-sarjaa. Lutkasta on valmisteilla elokuva. "Kirjaa lukiessa suorastaan jännittää perheen puolesta ja toivoo parasta. Kirjan katkeran kaunis loppu ei tunnu lopulta, vaan uudelta alulta ja Fitzgeraldien perhe jää mieleen jatkamaan elämäänsä." – Hilkka Kauhanen, STT "Walshin tarina muistuttaa paikoin liiankin karusti siitä, että onni voi muuttua epäonneksi milloin tahansa." – Cosmopolitan "Romaanin realistinen ajankuva ja moniulotteiset henkilöhahmot tuovat kirjaan elokuvamaisuutta." – Heini Sivonen, Ilta-Sanomat "Viehätys on samansuuntaista kuin pahan onnettomuuden sivustaseuraajaan rooliin joutuminen: mieli tekisi kääntää katse pois, mutta silmät eivät tottele." – Laura Leiwo, Hämeen Sanomat "Kirjaa on vaikea lukea julkisissa liikennevälineissä, koska on vaikea annostella sen herättämiä tunteita. Kauhua, noloutta, huvitusta, suurta surua ja pientä toivoa." – Merja Määttänen, Sara. "Walsh nousee tällä romaanilla brittiproosan kevyestä keskisarjasta tekijäksi, jota kannattaa jatkossakin pitää silmällä." – Laura Sihvonen, Image "Järkähtämätön esimerkki siitä, kuinka tarpeeksi suuri määrä kärsimystä ja tuskaa tekee ihmisestä juuri sen samaisen hirviön, jonka hän alun perin halusi tappaa." – Independent "Walsh tutkiskelee ihmissuhteiden kiemuroita ja luo uskottavan ja koskettavan kuvan perhe-elämästä häikäisevän lahjakkaasti." – Time Out "Walsh nousee tällä romaanilla brittiproosan kevyestä keskisarjasta tekijäksi, jota kannattaa jatkossakin pitää silmällä." – Lauri Sihvonen, Image

Parikymppinen Millie O’Reilly on hävyttömän kaunis, röyhkeä ja sekaisin. Kun perhehuolet riivaavat, opiskelu vituttaa ja paras ystävä ottaa etäisyyttä, Millie etsii lohtua ja unohdusta Liverpoolin huorakortteleista. Viina, kokaiini ja täydellisen piittaamaton seksi niin naisten kuin miestenkin kanssa kiskovat häntä hedonismin, itsetuhon ja nöyryytysten syövereihin. Lutka on raadollisen suoraviivainen ja kiihkeä kuvaus ystävyydestä, vieraantumisesta ja äärimmäisyyksistä. Se on myös rakkaudentunnustus Liverpoolin laitakaduille ja niiden kulahtaneelle kauneudelle. Englantilainen Helen Walsh (s. 1977) veti ekstaasia ja kokaiinia teknoklubeissa jo ennen ensimmäisiä kuukautisiaan. Hän muutti 16-vuotiaana Barcelonaan ja työskenteli transvestiittiprostituoitujen parittajana. Kotiin palattuaan Walsh opiskeli sosiologiaa Liverpoolin yliopistossa ja valmistui huippuarvosanoin. Lutka on hänen esikoisromaaninsa. ”Pahuksen hyvää luettavaa.” – Time Out New York ”Walsh tyrmää sinut mennen tullen.” – Guardian
