Biography

A Raku demonstration by Dorothy Hope in 1978 was the initial inspiration behind the decades of creations in clay by Margaret Brown. Following her early experimentations with the clay medium, Brown decided to attend a formal studio ceramics course in Kempsey, NSW. While attending the ceramics course, Brown established a production of saleable creations which were later in demand from local galleries and galleries throughout Sydney.

Brown moved to the scenic Bega valley with the desire to further refine her skills while working with the clay medium. The Australian National University School of Art was within three hours drive which enabled her to complete a Diploma in Visual Arts (Ceramics) and receive a Technical award upon completion of the course.

Brown attributes her talents and techniques to a multitude of talented artistic tutors who have shared their knowledge and skills freely at workshops which she has willingly attended.

Since Brown's graduation, her work has been in continual demand within the Bega valley and surrounding townships. She has developed a professional relationship with selected galleries and commercial outlets within the local region that exhibit and sell her perfected creations.
