Cecil Baugh

Cecil Archibald Baugh OJ, CD (November 22, 1908 – June 28, 2005), was a Jamaican master potter and artist.

[2][3] Baugh then moved to Kingston, the capital city, and began an apprenticeship under Susan and Ethel Trenchfield from Saint Elizabeth Parish.

Baugh then worked as a groundsman at the St. James Country Club in Montego Bay, and later as a door-to-door pottery salesman in Kingston.

In 1938, at an arts and crafts exhibition in Kingston, he met the painter Albert Huie, who became a lifelong friend.

He was stationed in Cairo, Egypt for three years, where he was introduced to a method of pottery glazing which mirrored his self-invented 'Egyptian Blue'.

In 1994, he received the George William Gordon Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts, and the Order of Jamaica in 2003.
