Annabelle is an artist and ceramicist from Gloucestershire, UK, and a recent graduate of the MA Ceramics & Glass programme at the Royal College of Art, where she was awarded the prestigious Märit Rausing Scholarship.

Her practice is rooted in a deep engagement with material and process, using clay as a means to navigate the porous boundary between the human body and the environments it inhabits. Through making, she considers how we shape the world around us, and in turn, how it impresses itself upon us; physically, culturally, and psychologically.

Drawing from an eclectic yet considered visual language, ranging from naturally occurring gogotte formations and cultivated landscapes to satellite imagery of distant planetary terrains, Annabelle creates sculptural works that feel both intimate and expansive. These references sit alongside vernacular British folk traditions, including folk costume and seasonal rituals, grounding her work in a lineage of making that is both communal and deeply embodied.

Abstracting the human form, her ceramics emerge as fluid, visceral landscapes; at once bodily and geological. Each piece is shaped through an attentive dialogue with the material, where touch, gravity, and time are active collaborators. In this way, her work foregrounds craftsmanship not only as skill, but as a mode of thinking: a slow, responsive process through which meaning is formed.
