Life

She studied at Derby School of Art and then went to the Central School of Arts and Crafts, where she studied pottery under Dora Billington, and the Institute of Education, where she studied under William R. Newland.[2] From 1949–1954 she had a studio in Bayswater, London, with Newland and Nicolas Vergette.

She married Newland in 1950, with whom she had two children, and in 1954 set up a studio with him in Prestwood, Buckinghamshire.[1] Their archive is held by the University of Wales, Cardiff.[2]
