Rabinowitz, Hym
(b Concordia, nr Springbok, 3 July 1920). South African potter. He qualified and worked as a chartered accountant until the outbreak of World War II. After five years’ military service in Europe, he worked as a clerk in Cape Town until 1956. He then went back to England and spent six months with Kenneth Quick at the Tregenna Hill Pottery in Cornwall. He returned to South Africa again and worked for six months (1961–2) with Esias Bosch at White River. Bosch persuaded him to become a professional potter, and after his return to Cape Town Rabinowitz established a studio at Eagle’s Nest in Constantia. In 1966–7 he worked with Michael Cardew at Wenfordbridge, Cornwall. Although his motifs reflect the tradition of Cardew and Bernard Leach, he developed a personal style through his use of simple forms and decoration on functional pieces.
