Mudbelly Ceramics began in 2019 as a research outlet for artist Phoebe Collings-James' pottery practice and has since grown into a dynamic extension of the artist's sculptural work. In addition to an online shop, Mudbelly operates a roaming teaching facility, offering free ceramics courses for Black people in London, taught by Black ceramicists. This initiative responds to both a personal and collective desire to learn and create within a community of African and Afro-Caribbean descent. To learn more about the inspiring ceramicists who lead Mudbelly’s courses, visit our Teaches page.

A portion of sales from all Mudbelly pottery goes towards supporting the Mudbelly Teaches project, alongside public and private fundraising, which has included support from Gucci and Arts Council England.
