I was a ceramics student of Ronald Pope when he was sculpture professor at Derby Lonsdale college. I attended the college from 1979-1981. He was working there before I arrived but am not sure of the year. His time there is not mentioned on his biographical page.

He was influenced by the Derbyshire landscape as is mentioned but in particular by Curbar Edge rock outcrop, where he used to take students like me for drawing lessons.
