Athene Ceramics is the home of small-batch produced, hand-made ceramics. All are inspired by the natural beauty of the clay itself. Focused on shapes thrown on the wheel, Abi takes inspiration from the world around her, finding inspiration in texture and colours, in both nature and the urban landscape that she lives within.
Abi is currently based in a studio in Hammersmith, her current focus is hand-thrown and simply decorated pieces using the Japanese Neriage technique. This method of making is defined by marbling different clays together on the wheel. The pieces are then decorated very simply to showcase the simple beauty of the clay. Abi particularly loves the unpredictable nature of this technique, every piece is unique and the results vary widely from piece to piece, meaning every item is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
