​​​Abigail is a multi-disciplinary artist who creates handmade, functional stoneware pottery,

With a background in illustration and inspired by bright colours, contemporary styles, and, of course, dogs.

​

Born 'n' bred in Whitby, North Yorkshire & graduated from The University of Edinburgh in 2021 with a first-class degree in Illustration.

​After graduating, Abigail was an Artist in Residence at The Geall Gallery, Grosmont, from 2021 to 2026. This is where she learned how to make pots and fell in love with clay.

​

Abigail started her pottery career making wheel-thrown stoneware, hand-decorated with stained slip and stencils made from repurposed charity shop book pages. 

​

Alongside her pottery, Abigail is an accomplished illustrator with a keen interest in contemporary landscape painting. She is particularly drawn to the beauty of the North York Moors, as well as other locations of personal significance. 

​

Now, she spends most of her time creating bespoke butter dishes, each made with a sculpture of people's pets. What started as a niche idea became incredibly popular and has taken over her creative practise.

 

What a joy to have found a way to combine her two greatest loves, pottery and dogs.
