Is one of the pioneer women in British studio pottery, she is best known for her thrown bowls and vases subtly coloured using ash glazes. In 1921 she had enrolled in evening classes in the ceramics department at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. Her career plans changed after she learned pottery at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and her formative training was the year spent at St Ives at the Leach Pottery (1924).
In 1925, she set up her own workshop and built a wood-fired kiln on the family estate at Coleshill where Norah Braden joined her, in 1928. For the next eight years, they worked together although each produced individual pieces. 

In 1946, she moved to Kilmington Manor where she continued to work with remarkable consistency until her death.
