I’m Flora Fabris, a French potter based in South East London. My work follows two connected paths: one of quiet lines and balanced forms, the other shaped by raw materials, wood ash, and the traces of fire. Structured and instinctive, refined and raw, they meet in the hand that makes them.

​

Rooted in the wabi-sabi philosophy, my ceramics embrace imperfection, impermanence, and the beauty of handmade work. A former civil engineer, I spent years working with structure and precision. Through pottery, I learned to loosen control and trust spontaneity. Both ways of thinking continue to shape my practice.

​

I make stoneware pieces that invite slowness, presence, and a deeper relationship with the everyday. Inspired by the landscapes of the French Pyrénées and Japanese aesthetics, I use a muted palette and develop my own glazes, often using natural materials such as wood ash, plant ash, shells, and found clays. Most pieces are fired in oxidation in my London garden studio.

​

Each work is one of a kind, made to be used, cherished, and lived with for years.

 

I regularly take part in fairs and exhibitions. See the Events page to find out where to see my work in person, or contact me to arrange a studio visit.

I also welcome collaborations with chefs, restaurants, interior designers, hotels and creative brands to create handmade ceramic tableware and bespoke stoneware objects.
