Kenyan-born British potter, Magdalene Odundo is considered one of the finest studio potters working in the UK today.
After travelling to Nigeria to learn the traditional ceramic techniques of Abuja pottery, Odundo has spent the last several decades developing her own signature style of replicating the human form in pottery. This piece, entitled Asymmetric Vessel, has found a new home at the Hepworth Wakefield where it will sit amongst their inspiring collection of British studio pottery, including another striking work by Odundo entitled Esinasulo.
