Footnote
Dora Billington is regarded as a seminal figure in the British studio pottery movement of the 20th century. Billington taught pottery for most of her life (between 1919 and 1955) at the Royal college of Art and Central Saint Martins respectively. Although she was an incredibly skilled and influential potter in her own right, her life and work remains under documented. Today she is better known for the people she taught than for her own work. Her students included Alan Caiger-Smith, William Newland, Margaret Hine, Kenneth Clark, Ann Wynne-Reeves, Gordon Baldwin, Quentin Bell, Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie, Stella Crofts, Ursula Mommens, Ray Finch, Ruth Duckworth to name but a few.
