Mary Wondrausch

Mary Wondrausch

Mary Wondrausch, OBE (born 1923, Chelsea) is an English artist, potter, historian and writer.[1] She trained as a potter at Farnham School of Art, latterly West Surrey College of Art and Design.

She is a fellow of the Craft Potters' Association and has work in the V&A Museum collection. She was awarded the OBE for services to the Arts in 2000.[2] Her primary interest is continental peasant art. Originally training as a watercolor artist, she later became interested in ceramics and opened her own pottery workshop in 1974. Inspired by 17th century English slipware and Eastern European designs, such influences have informed her own work. She is known for lettering and exuberant use of colour.[citation needed]

Her Brickfields pottery is in Compton, near Guildford, Surrey.[3]
