Marea Gazzard (1928–2013) was an Australian sculptor and ceramicist
“Marea Gazzard was an influential ceramic artist in Australia from the late 1950s….Gazzard trained in ceramics in 1953–54 at East Sydney Technical College, and at London Central School for Arts and Crafts in 1956–57. Unlike most potters of the time, she was less interested in Oriental-inspired wheel thrown forms, and more interested in hand built vessel forms, influenced by modernist design, Cycladic sculpture (from her own Greek background), and other archaeological forms such as pre-Colombian pottery and sculpture.”
