Marguerite Wildenhain, née Marguerite Friedlaender, also spelled Friedländer, was an American Bauhaus-trained ceramic artist, educator and author. After immigrating to the United States in 1940, she taught at Pond Farm and 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,".
