Gail Black was born in Rockhampton and has been creating functional pottery with the Capricornia Pottery Group (CPG) since 1990. Like most other members Gail started "indulging in creating pottery" (as she describes it) later In life due to family and work commitments. Although Gail describes herself as a functional potter she also enjoys crafting character figures using wheel-thrown pieces as well as simple underglaze decorations on slab built pots.
