Wanda Garnsey (1917-2011) was born in Murrurundi, New South Wales. She trained as a pianist and briefly studied painting before beginning a part-time ceramics course with Peter Rushforth at ESTC in 1957. She is best-known for founding Pottery in Australia, and editing it from 1962-1974. She also produced an interesting body of work from her studio in Turramurra, marked with an impressed 'GW'. R.L. Cope donated a number of her works to the Powerhouse Museum in 1989 and argues in "Collecting Wanda Garnsey," Pottery in Australia, 28/4:20-21 that her work is not as widely known as it merits.
