Biography
Imogen Margrie (b. London, UK 1962) studied at Central School of Arts and Crafts (1982-5) in London and then found a workshop space in Kingsgate Workshop, Kilburn. She worked at the Crafts Council Shop at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Contemporary Applied Arts Gallery to support her hand-thrown porcelain and stoneware practice. She taught on the ceramics course at Westminster University alongside her uncle, Victor Robert Margrie CBE (1929-2022) who had also been the first founding director of the Crafts Council from 1971 (as the Crafts Advisory Committee's Secretary) to 1984 having developed a studio pottery course at Harrow Schoool of Art with fellow potter Michael Casson in the 1960s. Since 1996 Imogen Margrie has run Cedars Pottery in Antigua and Barbuda with her husband, Mike Hunt (1960-) whom she had met at art school in 1982. Together they produce 'an eclectic mix of architectural, one-of-a-kind pieces made to commission' but like her uncle, she now also experiments with paper relief pieces.
