Does anyone know anything about the UK art sculpture Basil Matthews?

I am looking for anything on this artist. I am in love with his figurines, and I have only been able to track down that he was a studio potter in the UK, that he passed away in 1985 and that he had one student, Miranda Smith. I would love to find out if there is a book detailing his work, or if there is a specialty shop somewhere that specializes in his works.

I've just googled him and can't find a biography, but there are plenty of pieces up for sale on various sites. A place that you might get some information from is The Victoria & Albert Museum, South Kensington, London SW7. It is the UK's premier design museum, and the Librarian is almost sure to have some biographical details somewhere.
