Margot Manchester trained as a nurse but became interested in pottery through adult education classes in 1974. She completed a Certificate in Ceramics at Launceston TAFE in 1978 and a Diploma in Fine Art from the Tasmanian CAE, Launceston in 1982. By 1981, she had set up a studio in Launceston, specialising in local stoneware and porecelain bodies with natural rock glazes. She held her first solo exhibition at Coughton Galleries, Hobart, in early 1985. While completing postgraduate studies the following year, she began to move away from functional to sculptural forms, using colour, textural effects, incisions, folds and extrusions of clay. After 17 years as a professional ceramic artist, she became interested in digital photography and creative writing, and is now an author and a member of the Australian Photographic Society, living and working in Ulverstone. She has entries in the 1981 and 1985-1988 directories and signed her ceramic works with her incised name or an impressed 'MM' (from Australian Potters Marks).


Due to the huge increase in Australia Post parcel costs, I can send by courier Melb/Melb for $11.50 up to 25kg.  Depending on location in Country Vic and Interstate, courier is often a lot cheaper than Aust Post, so please ask me for the alternative cost before you pay.  The post/courier option is yours, not mine.

There are no extra charges for packaging and handling.  Postage/courier is at the same cost to you as it is to me. 

Signature on delivery - optional extra $2.95.  Insurance - optional extra $2.00/$100  (though the way I pack is not required)

Combined post/courier is a given for more than one purchase.

Please DO NOT PAY until you receive an invoice.

PICK UP can be arranged if requested.
