Barbara Batugowska (born November 18, 1932, in Denków) comes from a family of potters. She is the daughter of Stanisław and Helena Kaczmarski, the most talented ceramicists from Denków (a village near Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski).
Barbara, like her sisters Janina and Natalia and her brother Stanisław Jr., learned the pottery craft from her mother. She has been creating ceramic sculptures since 1952. She models figurines in clay with both religious and secular themes.
Her sculptures are part of the collections of the National Museum in Kielce, the Kielce Village Museum, and the WDK Regional Chamber.
