Schulze, Robert

Robert A. Schulze (1948- ) completed an Art and Design Diploma at RMIT in 1969, then worked until 1971 with Ray Cook at Bentleigh, Victoria, making Raynham ware. During 1973, he worked at Wattle Flat Studio Pottery near Dean, before setting up the Stonehedge Pottery at Glenrowan with fellow potter David Edwards. In Celebrating the Master, Schulze tells us that he started out by making up to 6,000 containers for a local winery as a means of getting established. In 1977, he took time out to go on a working and studying trip to Karatsu, Japan, where he was inspired to develop a free-flowing glaze-on-glaze brushwork technique. In 1983, the Stonehedge Pottery was closed and Schulze moved to Everton where he set up the Brookfield Pottery. As well as being marked with the variations of the Stonehedge and Brookfield pottery stamps documented in Geoff Ford's Encyclopedia of Australian Potter's marks, works from 1975-1996 may be impressed 'RAS' and he also signs some pieces 'Robert Schulze'.
