Hi, Derek Emms is another ex-Accrington School of Art (i.e. old Grammar School, along Blackburn Road) - He creates individual pieces in stoneware and porcelain.

He was born 1929 at Clarence Rd, Fern Gore, one of a family of 8 children
The family moved to Staffordshire in 1955 and he took a lecturing post at the College of Art there.

DO ANY OF OUR MEMBERS KNOW OF ANY FAMILY WHO WENT TO THE ACCRINGTON SCHOOL OF ART AND WHO MAY HAVE PIECES OF ARTWORK - POSSIBILITY OF THERE TO BE AN EXHIBITION OF EX-PUPILS WORK AT THE HAWORTH ART GALLERY IN ACCRINGTON IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE.
