    Meet Abi

    Ceramicist

    Meet Abi, a ceramicist based in West London. Abi has been making ceramics for over 10 years after she studied fine art at Chelsea College of Art and in the last 3 years her passion for ceramics went from being a hobby to a business.

    Abi is inspired by clay in it's natural form particularly raw clay, she rarely glazes her work and she wants to celebrate the materials themselves.  

    The workshops that Abi runs are warm and welcoming, she enjoys encouraging people to get creative and relax and her classes are a fun and supportive place to learn something new. 

    Although working on the wheel can feel intimidating Abi will show you it is actually great fun and anyone can do it!
