Ewen Henderson (artist)

Born at Cheddleton Hospital in Staffordshire, he was the second son and younger child of David Henderson (c.1900–1953), doctor of medicine, and (Beatrice) Mary Stewart (c.1905–1956), teacher and administrator, both of whom were Scottish.

He was brought up, unconventionally and rather unhappily, in a large mental hospital near Leek, where his father was resident GP.

He joined his brother, David, at Adams' Grammar School, Newport, Shropshire, which he attended from 1947 to 1952, excelling in cricket and rugby.

His students included such notable studio potters as Jim Malone, Angus Suttie, and Sara Radstone.

"[1] In 2002 a newly constructed hall of residence housing 260 students was named Ewen Henderson Court in his memory and honour.
