Reginald Haggar

Reginald Haggar was born in Ipswich in 1905 and studied at Ipswich School of Art and the Royal College of Art. 

In 1929 he became Minton's Assistant Designer, becoming Art Director 6 months later. He held this post until 1939, designing modernist shapes and patterns. Reginald Haggar was an accomplished artist, working in water colours as well as ceramics. His designs reflected both the radical and lyrical elements of Art Deco.

After leaving Minton, Reginald Haggar turned to teaching, becoming Master-in-Charge at Stoke School of Art from 1935 to 1941, and at Burslem School of Art from 1941 to 1945. 

After leaving this post he became a freelance painted and lecturer. He died in 1988.
