David Boyd (1924-2011) was born in Murrumbeena, VIC. In Sydney he met his future wife, Hermia Lloyd-Jones (1931-2000). They set up a pottery with fellow Melbournian Tom Sanders, producing a range called Hermia Ware. In 1950, they went to Europe where they established pottery studios in London and in the South of France. In 1956, they returned to Australia, basing themselves at Murrumbeena and continuing to make and exhibit ceramics. After spending time in Spain and the South of France, they returned permanently to Australia in 1975. In their ceramic work, they used earthenware and terracotta clays to make wheel-thrown functional and sculptural forms glazed and finely decorated using sgraffito techniques and medieval imagery. Marks were painted or incised and include 'Hermia Ware', 'Hermia', 'Boyd / England', 'D + H Boyd' and 'David + Hermia Boyd'.
