Clare Abbatt is an Associate Member of the Northampton Town & County Art Society

 

I enjoy portrait sculpture, figurative work and the creative collaboration of working to commission. 

 

Teaching.  See: Yardley arts and fermynwoods contemporary art.

 

After sculpting alongside family life and part-time teaching for a number of years, as a mature student I returned to college to study Fine Art at the University of Northampton, graduating with BA First Class Hons and my MA the following year.

 

In November 2016 I exhibited new work with Charlotte Abbatt and Edwin Alvis. See work from this exhibition here.
