The Crafts Study Centre Acquisition Committee has recently rewritten elements of policy to address the issue that the collection and archives are fundamentally composed of work by makers who are English and white. The collections do not fully represent cultural diversity and policy has changed to stress the need to collect to address this significant gap. The recent Maak sale from the John Driscoll collection gave us the chance to bid for a porcelain bowl by Lawson Oyekan and we were delighted to acquire it with the support of the Arts Council England/ V & A Museum Purchase Fund and Art Fund. It is the first work by Oyekan to enter the ceramics collection.
