From 2002 onwards, my father, Simon Olding, who has died aged 68 of cancer, was the director of the Crafts Study Centre, a museum devoted to modern British craft within the University of the Creative Arts in Farnham, Surrey.
His opening show exhibited the ceramicist Dame Magdalene Odundo. He went on to showcase a wide variety of artists in ceramics, textiles and other crafts, enriching the study and understanding of contemporary work.
