	Stella CROFTS Dates: Dates unknown but active in the 1920s Active as an artist working in ceramics during the 1920s, she studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and the Royal College of Art. She lived in Billericay in Essex. Her passion for the study of animals and birds had developed at an early age when she had long periods of ill-health as a child. During the 1920s she had considerable success with her animal groups modelled and reproduced in slip-cast earthenware. The forms are carefully observed and naturalistic but they are coloured simply by an all over glaze in dappled brown or pink. When possible she worked outdoors directly from life. She is mentioned in reviews in The Times, and The Studio Yearbook in the mid 1920s.
