Abstract

This paper is timely, as the subject is honour of the (1907) centenary of the purpose-built Queen Street site of Burslem School of Art (BSA). The paper relates to the design history strand of the conference, by sharing some insights found in the writing of Behind the Glass, and article honouring the unique achievements of the school. Commonalities with the latter and Behind the Music, a publication honouring the (1903) centenary of the purpose-built site at Vernon Street, at Leeds College of Art and Design, is apparent. Both studies focus in part on the contribution of focus in part on the contribution of the provincial school to the national system, in terms of pedagogic design. This paper follows the growth and development of a practice-based pedagogy known as executed design, developed by a former student of BSA.
