Abi makes a range of hand built domestic ware in terracotta adding coloured slip for pattern, decoration and colour. Production is in small batches and although all my work shares characteristics, no two pieces are exactly the same as the very nature of hand building ensures this! The pieces are designed to be used everyday and are intended to be humorous & provoke a smile.

Her work is stocked by several galleries throughout the UK, she regularly attends Craft Fairs & Festivals as well as being invited to submit work for specific exhibitions. Abi is a qualified and experienced teacher, having taught Art & Design at Secondary Schools for 15 years. She really enjoys teaching Ceramics and passing on her knowledge, skills & enthusiasm for making in clay to Children & Adults alike.
