Magdalene Odundo (b.1950, Nairobi, Kenya) is recognised as one of the world's greatest contemporary ceramic artists. She moved to the UK in 1971 and has travelled widely to explore vernacular ceramic traditions. Her best-known pieces are hand-built using a coiling technique. The Fitzwilliam in Cambridge, Hepworth Wakefield, and Sainsbury Centre in Norwich have all recently held exhibitions of her work.
