Documentary television programme about Staffordshire ceramic artists Clarice Cliff, Susie Cooper and Charlotte Rhead. Originally broadcast as four episodes on Channel Four Television in the UK. Describes the career of Charlotte Rhead, who came from a famous family of designers and who perfected the technique of tube-lining. Mary Harper recalls her working days as a painter for Charlotte Rhead. Looks at the work of Clarice Cliff, and highlights the role of the art school system in the potteries with particular reference to the Burslem School of Art, Stoke-on-Trent. A reunion was held for the women who worked with Clarice Cliff, many of whom had not met since their working days in the 1920s and 1930s. Looks at the women who worked for Clarice Cliff, including Peggy Davies who later became famous for her work as a modeller of Royal Doulton figures. Susie Cooper still works as a design consultant for Wedgewood. Many years ago she set up her own factory to produce ware with a fitness for function, in which shape and decoration grew logically from each other. She also adapted and developed new techniques for decoration such as aerographing and graffito.

12 years ago Jean Neshausen learned to weave korowai, traditional Māori feather cloaks. Her source of feathers varies from unravelled feather dusters to roadkill. To date, Jean has made 15 cloaks for her community. But now she faces her own mortality, with the realisation that she hasn't made one for her daughter. For this korowai, Jean takes us on a weka hunt to the windswept and barren Chatham Islands, Rekohu - 600 kilometres off the coast of Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand. It's a tough time, given that Jean is now on her third round of chemotherapy, but she is adamantly determined to make one last trip.

Some of the items in the Museum’s collection are in an incredibly fragile state and run the risk of disintegrating entirely. We take a look at the vital decisions being made regarding an especially at-risk cloak, and the important learnings the Taumata Māreikura can take from it.

Part of Te Awe’s mission is to improve the storage of these taonga in order to ensure that they are preserved for future generations. Discover the incredible lengths the Museum team go to in order to move these taonga to their new home.

During the second phase (2017-2019), as part of our Mātauranga Māori approach, Auckland Museum partnered with our Taumata Māreikura, a group made up of some of Aotearoa’s most skilled and experienced weavers, that assembled to share their knowledge and in turn learn from the incredible cloaks in the Museum’s collection.

In 2018, the Solomon Islands, in the South Pacific, hosted the Melanesian Arts & Cultural Festival, celebrating the country’s fortieth anniversary of independence. On neighboring island states, the struggle for freedom continues, as West Papua resists Indonesian occupation and the residents of New Caledonia still live under French rule. In all Melanesian countries, residents face the common challenge of climate change, as rising sea levels threaten to swallow both land and tradition. In this charged context, captivating performers are using their talents to celebrate local culture and draw international attention to their islands’ plight, with the hope of spurring international solidarity and prompting collective action against the perils of a warming world.
