Anna Battersby is an emerging ceramic artist based in Melbourne, Australia.

She creates slip-based works through spontaneous gesture and action that seek resonance with the natural world around us, and explore the relationships between material and process, inviting the viewer to contemplate the material, the poetic, and the imaginative.

Anna holds a Bachelor of Design and had a long career in graphic design and digital media before shifting focus to her art. In 2017, she received an honours scholarship and completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Sculpture) with First Class Honours at the University of Sydney. 

She exhibits regularly throughout Australia and has been a finalist in numerous award shows, including the Clunes Ceramic Award (2022), the Klytie Pate Ceramic Award (2023) and the Siliceous Award for Ceramic Excellence (2021, 2025).

Anna is currently working on a new body of gestural stoneware work for upcoming group exhibitions in Melbourne and Sydney in 2025.
