Patricia Englund
Patricia Englund, née Burge, was an Australian potter and artist from Sans Souci, New South Wales.
Career
Patricia first studied painting at the Julian Ashton School in Sydney before she took pottery lessons at Wollongong Technical College, where she was taught by her husband Ivan Englund. In 1955 after quickly developing as a highly skilled potter using a small wood-burning kiln, Patricia also went on to teach ceramics at the college. Patricia's works are held in collections at the National Gallery of Victoria, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney and the National Gallery of Australia. Her items of pottery have been exhibited in the Western Australia Art Gallery and Newcastle Teachers College as well as in New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand.Exhibitions
