Ceramicist

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.

I loved learning how to throw a pot with Abi. She was so warm and welcoming, and super patient/encouraging. I felt so at ease, which gave me the confidence to stop worrying about getting it wrong and just enjoy the process. Abi has a super studio, conveniently close to the tube. I will definitely go back. Thank you, Abi!
