Marguerite Wildenhain, née Marguerite Friedlaender and alternative spelling Friedländer (October 11, 1896 – February 24, 1985), was an American Bauhaus-trained ceramic artist, educator, and author. After immigrating to the United States in 1940, she taught at Pond Farm a Bauhaus-adjacent summer school in California that was a contemporary to the Black Mountain College. She wrote three influential books — Pottery: Form and Expression (1959), The Invisible Core: A Potter's Life and Thoughts (1973), and ...that We Look and See: An Admirer Looks at the Indians (1979). Artist Robert Arneson described her as "the grande dame of potters.”
