Millicent Taplin
- ... that Millicent Taplin left school at 13 and never studied art full time, yet became one of Wedgwood's main ceramics designers? Source: "Millicent Taplin... Born in 1902, she left school at the age of thirteen..." ([1]); "Unusually, Susie Cooper and Star Wedgwood had attended art school as full-time students, whereas Freda Beardmore, Millie Taplin and Clarice Cliff were trained as in-house 'paintresses' ... and had taken supplementary evening classes at art school." ([2]); "During the late 1930's she became one of the more prolific designers for Wedgwood" [3]

- Comment: Image of Taplin is fair use, and I have unfortunately failed to find any free images of her work.

. New enough, long enough, no copyvio issues, reads well, hook in article and followed by references containing hook facts. QPQ provided. Check reference 4. Knight, search on Millicent Taplin. The link goes to google. Thank you, an enjoyable read. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:56, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Whispyhistory! Google Books must have disabled permanent links to searches; it was working when I last checked it. I've changed it to the book index page there, which should hopefully be stable. The Google Books version has no pagination and none of my tricks to find some worked.
