Marjorie Violet G Drawbell (1 March 1903 – 27 April 2000) was a British sculptor, known for creating a number of designs that were reproduced as pottery and jewellery items.
Born in England, Drawbell studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic in central London from 1919 to 1921.[1] After graduating, Drawbell worked as an assistant to Charles Vyse and worked with him in creating ceramic figures for Poole Pottery.[1] She created animal and human figures, usually for private commissions, some of which were re-created in silver by the jewellery company Asprey.[1] Drawbell was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy in London, showing a total of eighteen works there between 1943 and 1961.[2] In 1961 she published Making Pottery Figures, a book on pottery methods and techniques.[2] Drawbell was also a painter and had an exhibition of her paintings at the Zaydler Gallery in 1970.[2] In 1948 she was elected an Associate member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and was made a Fellow of that Society in 1957.[1]
