Truda studied Applied Art at the Royal College of Art in London, where she met and married ceramicist, John Adams in 1915. Following their marriage they moved to South Africa, to teach at the School of Art at Durban Technical College, establishing a pottery section at the college, and it is likely that Truda learnt much of her pottery skills from her husband during this period. Returning to Britain Truda and John joined the pottery at Poole in 1921, with the formation of the new company "Carter, Stabler and Adams Ltd" by its directors Cyril Carter (who Truda was later to marry), Harold Stabler and John Adams.Initially adapting the designs of her predecessor at Poole Pottery, James Radley Young, Carter went on to develop more complex patterns with clear influences from European Art Deco pottery and prints, as well as contemporary abstract modernist painting. Carter created the vast majority of the patterns that decorate Poole Pottery during the 1920s and 30’s. It is these brightly coloured, loosely floral, abstract designs for which she is best known. Truda Carter remained resident designer at Poole Pottery until her retirement in 1950."@en }
