Wondrausch was born into an aristocratic family. Her mother was not attentive and her father was interested in cars. Her father, Harold Charles Lambert, later worked with her uncle,
Percy E. Lambert in the motor trade. Percy held land speed records and they sold
Austin and later
Singer cars in Westminster. She was cared for by nannies and sent to private schools where she refused to cooperate with education. It was anticipated that she would be a debutante and get married, but the war directed her interest to the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. She left due to an injury. She had three husbands and three children and an unusual life that involved art and eventually pottery. Her primary interest is continental peasant art. Originally training as a watercolor artist, she later became interested in ceramics and opened her own pottery workshop in 1974. Inspired by 17th-century English slipware and Eastern European designs, such influences have informed her own work. She is known for lettering and exuberant use of colour. Her Brickfields pottery is in
Compton, near Guildford, Surrey, where she moved in 1955 and subsequently raised three children. She is buried in the cemetery at the
Watts Cemetery Chapel at Compton in Surrey. ==Portrait of Wondrausch==
