Denise Wren (née Tuckfield; 7 January 1891 – 1979) was an Australian-born British studio potter and craftsperson.

Wren and her family subsequently set up the Oxshott Pottery and wrote on the subjects of ceramics, textiles and making.

He also fired her ceramics in his kiln,[1] including a tile with a flying fish motif featured in a 1909 issue of fine and decorative arts magazine The Studio.

Here, they set up the Oxshott Pottery which produced brightly glazed functional earthenware products such as bowls, dishes and vases which they sold at agricultural and horticultural shows during the interwar period.

[10][11][12] Wren pioneered designs for small scale kilns, which she sold by mail order to aspiring amateur potters, both in the UK and abroad.

In contrast to Leach and his followers, who mainly made wheel-thrown pots, Wren used a wide variety of techniques such as building with slabs or coils of clay and making tiles and figurines in moulds: partly inspired by her lessons from Archibald Knox.

[1] Ceramicists like Denise Wren were part of a new aesthetic movement that began to emerge after the First World War.

[14] Wren's technical understanding of ceramic work was demonstrated at a meeting of the Craft Potters Association in 1960 where she produced a detailed scheme of categories against which a pot's quality could be judged.

[15] From the late 1930s, Denise Wren began to design textiles to compensate for dwindling sales of pottery at Oxshott.

This enabled her to make contact with some Manchester based textile printers like Grafton's, Simpson and Godlee, Tootals and Whitworth and Mitchell.
