​​​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. There, she learned 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. She has since expanded into hand-building, creating her infamous 'butter dish dogs'.

​

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

 

She's currently taking a break from work due to ill health, but is keeping her shop open and stocked and appreciates all the continued support for her creative career.
