Magdalene Odundo (born 1950) is a Kenyan-born British studio potter, who now lives in Farnham, Surrey. Her work is in the collections of notable museums including the Art Institute of Chicago, The British Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Museum of African Art.
She has been Chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts since 2018.
Magdalene Odundo was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and received her early education in both India and Kenya. She attended the Kabete National Polytechnic in Kenya to study Graphics and Commercial Art and later moved to England in 1971 to follow her chosen vocation in Graphic Design. After training in Farnham, Surrey, she completed her qualifications in foundation art and graphics at the Cambridge School of Art, where she began to specialise in ceramics.
After a while in England she discovered pottery, and in 1974–75 she visited Nigeria, visiting the Pottery Training Centre in Abuja, and Kenya to study traditional hand-built pottery techniques. She also travelled to San Ildefonso Pueblo, New Mexico, to observe the making of black-burnished vessels.
Odundo's best-known ceramics are hand built, using a coiling technique. Each piece is burnished, covered with slip, and then burnished again. The pieces are fired in an oxidizing atmosphere, which turns them a red-orange. A second firing in an oxygen-poor (reducing) atmosphere causes the clay to turn black; this is known as reduction-firing. She uses the same types of techniques used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans and likes to take inspiration from countries such as China and Mexico. (from wikipedia)

I thought I would try something new for my museum and art gallery sketches by sketching with a black brush pen, especially when the rounded shapes and forms of Magdalene Odundo's work seemed like it would be especially suited for sweeping brushstrokes!
Instead of using something like a Tombow brush pen, I got a Pentel pocket brush pen, which I have never used before, and as such, I was really surprised at the kind of brushstrokes I got bc I had expected continuously flowing ink that comes out smooth, and that did not happen? I'm not sure if it's bc the pen was new or I wasn't using it properly - either way, I was really rushed bc the museum was closing soon and today was the last day for this exhibition, so I only did these two sketches very quickly and didn't even get to use the opaque white brush pen I had gotten for highlights.
