"She became highly skilled and well known, illuminating some of William Morris’ incomplete work, and extending her interests to decorative designs and the painting of furniture for Ernest Grimson".
Her sister, Thérèse Lessore, was a painter and founder member of the London Group and who decorated Wedgwood blanks in the 1920s and her brother Frederick was a portrait sculptor who opened the Beaux Arts Gallery.
Ada Louise married Alfred Hoare Powell on Thursday, 6 September 1906 and, in their ceramic works, they developed an artistic partnership.
After her marriage to Powell the couple pursued a career with Wedgwood together after setting up their studio in 1907 at 20 Red Lion Square in Bloomsbury, London.
Powell suggested the reintroduction of classic eighteenth century designs into a new Wedgwood collection hosted in Liverpool, which led to a lot of external approval and proved to be a commercial success, with the Staffordshire Sentinel commenting on their 'fresh style of decorated pottery'.
