Privately produced regional art and craft publications of this type were typically printed in small numbers and are seldom encountered on the secondary market, particularly signed examples. Enhanced by contributions from Karl Steadman and a foreword by Sir Charles Groves, the work holds strong appeal for collectors of British studio pottery, Cumbrian cultural history, and late 20th-century craft documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"1077\"\u003eSteadman's Kendal documents the development and artistic output of Kendal Studio Pottery, exploring its role within the British studio pottery movement and its connection to local artistic life in Cumbria. Combining historical narrative, personal reflection, and photographic illustration, the book records the philosophy, craftsmanship, and community surrounding the Steadmans’ work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53386041852243,"sku":"3393-EV-F-S-VG-15","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260605_165732_54ce4751-f48f-495b-a796-beb410edf8b3.jpg?v=1780675328","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/steadmans-kendal-karl-audrey-steadman-1st-ed-presentation-copy-signed","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
