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

She creates spontaneous and gestural slip-based works that seek an intuitive 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 Siliceous Award for Ceramic Excellence (2021, 2025), the Clunes Ceramic Award (2022) and the Wyndham Art Prize (2019, 2023).

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