Arthur Berry was an English playwright, poet, teacher and artist, born in Smallthorne, Stoke-on-Trent on February 7, 1925. He died on July 4, 1994. Berry was the son of a publican and grew up during the Depression. At the age of 14 he enrolled at Burslem School of Art. Despite a rebellious start there, he came under the care of Gordon Mitchell Forsyth (1879-1952), director of art education and a successful pottery designer. Berry gained a place at the Royal College of Art, as did a number of the more talented Burslem students. During his time at the Royal College the institution was evacuated from Kensington to Ambleside in the Lake District because of the Second World War. Berry, who suffered from agoraphobia, did not find the rural surroundings of Ambleside particularly to his taste. Berry became an art teacher. He worked in London and Manchester, but as a teacher he is best-known for his long association with Burslem School of Art, where he had studied. Burslem School of Art was absorbed within Stoke-on-Trent College of Art, which in turn became part of North Staffordshire Polytechnic in 1971. Berry was lecturer in painting at the polytechnic until 1985.
