  Valeria Correll (1886-1973) was a potter, enameller, china painter and sculptor. Correll moved from South Australia to Melbourne as a young girl and studied art at the Working Men's College, Melbourne, later Melbourne Technical College, now RMIT University. Correll's early works tended to be hand built, reflecting her training in sculpture rather than ceramics. From 1941 Correll worked from home in Kew, where she established her Australian China Studio.
