Event Details

Abuja! Ladi Kwali & The Art of Clay, a special sale celebrating the Abuja Pottery Training Centre and the work of Black women ceramicists, is now live on bonhams.com until 2 March. Estimates range from £80 to £15,000. The Abuja Pottery Training Centre in Suleja (formerly called Abuja) was set up by British potter Michael Cardew in the 1950s. Students specialised in specific types of ceramicware, often mixing local Gwari pottery hand-building techniques, traditional shapes and decorations with Western pottery motifs.
